Ready, Set, Run

If I happen to pass away on the Boilermaker course on Sunday morning and you read this post posthumously, know that I loved you all. Well, except you, you, and you. And especially YOU. But with those few exceptions, I did love all of you.

This weeks only important topic is the post Boilermaker gathering on Tuesday night, meaning there is no TRY (at the park). You should all have been invited to through the FB event. If not and you want to know details, get a hold of me.

For those that can come, please read the details in the Flushing The BM Away event and then use the comment section to coordinate what you are bringing for side dishes or desserts. There is no need for everyone to bring something (no need for a feast), so especially for those of you coming directly from work - I would rather have you there on time to enjoy the evening then have you have to stop and buy food right during rush hour and be delayed substantially doing so. We will make sure that there is enough to go around.

Despite no TRY, there is big goings on this week at the park. There is a "Onondaga Lake Fest" at the Willow Bay end on Saturday. Here is some reference material I've read:
A description of the worlds largest rubber duck was written back in June. (Where is Ernie when you need him? I challenge anyone to listen to this entire song and NOT get it stuck in there head for hours.)



Last week there was a better description about everything to do with the entire days activities.
And you can go directly to the Lakefest website.

Seems really interesting! Not sure that I will make it but will at least attempt to get within viewing distance of the duck with the boys. (Could be an interesting view of it from near the Amphitheater at that elevated viewing point almost directly across from our weekly meetup area?)

...do de rubber duck...

That song is so catchy! (But in a good way?)

In my final attempt to cram Caroline Kole down your throats...well, for now, anyway, and to get the rubber duck song out of your head, I'll share three videos of partial songs from Friday night's show. (With apologies for my poor quality video and audio versions.) Caroline did an excellent job, I expressed my love for her in front of a hundred witnesses (true story...Malinda can confirm) and did not get a restraining order, and it was an awesome concert again. I highly recommend catching her if she comes back through the area again.

...do de rubber duck...

One of her own songs, that works well for TRY - Ready, Set, Run:



...duck, rubber duck, duck, rubber duck...

A song for the non-country folks - her cover of Billy Jean:


...do de rubber duck...

And a country cover that is almost as old as Caroline is (somehow this song is 16 years old?!) - Goodbye Earl:



[Finally, that one forced it out...cause the duck had to die]
