However first things first. Workouts this weekend were as follows
Friday morning: 2.3mile run, 21:27, 134HR
Friday evening: 12 mile ride, 16.9mph, 120HR
Saturday morning: 67 mile ride, 18.5mph, 137HR
Saturday evening: Pool volleyball (0-4) at pool party, vodka, beer and TexMex (veggie for me)
Sunday morning: 71 mile ride, 18 mph, 128HR
Yes one can have too much alcohol on Saturday and ride for nearly four hours on Sunday.
Now back to the Anthony Bourdain thing. Yesterday I picked up my new prescription Ray Bans, donned a black t-shirt and headed to a friends pool party. The pool was filled with water but everything else was filled with alcohol. At any rate a couple said that with my shades on I look like Anthony Bourdain. I had no idea who Anthony Bourdain is. So they explained.
He is my certainly my age, has wavy grayish hair and has a fit build. So there are some common features, but I think it stops there. But since everyone at the party were younger than me, and this couple was probably in their thirties, I think it is just a case of "all 50 year old men of similar proportions and color look alike" to anyone under 40. I should be insulted. I look like me.
On the other hand, I won't complain about being compared to a man who said the most disgusting thing he ever ate was a Chicken McNugget and who despises ABBA.

Gramps, that dude is nothing compared to you. So...you binge drink and cycle on the weekend? Good for you.
yeah, but you left out this part...
"Bourdain is famous for eating sheep testicles in Morocco, ant eggs in Puebla, Mexico, a raw seal eyeball as part of a traditional Inuit seal hunt, and a whole cobra — beating heart, blood, bile, and meat — in Vietnam."
sounds just like ya! :)
oh and, thanks for all the cycling tips!
Wow. 138 miles. Maybe I need to get a real bike and ride some more.
I don't know ... I kind of like the demand marathons. A different challenge. Isn't it great though that we all have different things that we look to tackle and prove to ourselves? :)
i love anthony bourdain. *gosh* spell his name right :) And since you're my dad, I obviously love you too. there you go, another similarity. you need to go ahead and rent no reservations or read his book "Kitchen Confidential"
Besides, he's a total badass. Who *wouldn't* want to be like him? *I* want to be like him, and I'm not even a 50-something male!
Let me say it now to the world at-large: I am a Joe carey fan. I am not however an Anthony Bourdain fan.
that explains all of those wonderful women flocking to your side at every event you attend...
What's Edwin's excuse??
omg I lOVE anthony bourdain! and yeh, I guess you sorta look like him...lol, but he is a chain smoker and has never worked out a day in his life. daughter is right- he's a badass, so take it as a compliment!
Eeek, he chain smokes and doesn't like ABBA? I'm with Jamoosh.
p.s. If you ever diss ABBA again you won't be invited to any more Lake Indulgence-Hoge Juice- String Bikini Pool Parties!
