I don’t have a personal trainer and have only trained with one once, back in 1991.
So, you might be asking yourself, why do I dislike them? Here’s why: Continue reading

So, the other day when I saw the guy in the Spiderman outfit, I thought that would be the only crazy guy I’d see for a while. Boy, was I wrong! Just today I saw this guy in a Little Ceasar’s Pizza suit on the corner of Ft Apache Rd & Spring Mtn Rd promoting a new pizza place, LOL! It was 109 degrees again today…..the nut jobs keep on coming! I love living in Las Vegas!
First Spiderman, now Caesar! Who's next?
