Heart Attack Wilson



Fans thought the torture was over with winning the World Series. The drought of winning a series yes was over but the day to day torture of day to day wins in the 9Th inning is not over. The torture is alive and well. My friends and family know that I call Brian Wilson, "Heart Attack Wilson". It almost never fails that when Brian comes in to close up a game and give us a win, that I think he is going to blow it big time. Somehow, he can still pull off a win even though he loads the bases, has a run scored or gets his home crowd going from screaming that we are going to win to complete silence (at opposing games, he gets their fans screaming that they might win). Brian is also known as "Fear the Beard". What I think of this is that fear the beard really means, when the beard comes in, he just might give me a heart attack. Come on anyways, how close can you get to the edge of the Grand Canyon and not fall over?

Lunge




One of the stretches I have the students do at work is the lunge stretch (but we do it standing more upright with our hands on our hips, unlike the photo-saves the back). I do the stretches with my students and I always do them in the same order. It never fails with one of my 1st grade classes (which happens to be right after my lunch time), when we finish our tricep stretch, I say, "Lunge". The students say, "Miss W. did you have a good lunch?" I reply, "yes I did thank you for asking". They then ask, "what did you have?" My usual response is, "a yummy healthy salad!" They make me crack up almost every time. Lunge and lunch.
