Ahhhh

Great morning already. Don't I look sweaty and unnaturally intense? :-)

Was at FP by 6 - hardly anyone in sight. There was a bootcamp in progress by the Muny, and Bark In The Park is setting up, but I never ran into anyone on my route. Except a homeless guy sitting by the stream.

Finished my run at 6:30, ran over to Soulard Market, picked up some fruits and veggies, then headed over to a friends for a quick breakfast. He got in at 3:00, and was trying to decide if he was still inebriated or hungover.

I beat the rain - hah!! Thought I might get caught in an errant shower, but dodged that bullet.

I am still crabby, though. Not a constant, just comes in waves. Hoping to shake it off soon.

70's Saturday Morning Fun

Since I've been strolling down memory lane with Burger Chef, Streets of Fire and the Stains, I thought back to how much I looked forward to Saturday morning cartoons. I did a little search, and came up with some of my favorite shows from 1976:

Isis - What I do remember about Isis were her wicked cool lace-up sandels, her shiny crown and that cool amulet/necklace that gave her special powers. From mild-mannered science teacher to superhero, she was what I aspired to be for Halloween.

Electra Woman and DynaGirl - So much fun!! It was like Batman and Robin but with better hairstyles and accessories. I believe I played this out in my backyard with the neighborhood girls - I was always Electra Woman. Natch.

Land Of The Lost - Ahh!!!! So good. Chaka - I always wanted a little paleolithic buddy. Will, Holly, Marshall, the Sleestacks, and the T-Rex always bugging them at the entrance to the cave. Why don't they make shows like this anymore?

Then in 1977, you had shows like Bigfoot and Wildboy, Grape Ape, JabberJaws.

And finally in 1978, the Bay City Rollers brought their feathered good looks and Rock 'n Roll Love Letter to you. The best lyric from that song? "I'm gonna keep on rock and rollin' till my jeans explode." Jeez....what could that mean? I believe I ran around the house singing this - dirty even back then.
