Pavlov and Spring
Something magical happened yesterday. I was walking home and then I heard it. The call to children everywhere, the fiercely repetitive mantra, the " da de de da da da da dada dada da daaaaa da"
The first ice-cream truck of spring appeared in NYC yesterday at approximately 6:30pm. Immediately after the call sounded, the sound of children rushing to the truck, standing triumphantly panting when their destination was reached.
That moment brought back memories of a childhood me, running barefoot through the streets of Brooklyn chasing the ice cream trucks for blocks. Maybe i should be listening to the ice cream truck jungle when I'm on the treadmill...
Hrmm...

It works. My treadmill mantra has always been "will run for FatFrogs".
Glad to see you blogging =)

One day ill throw down money to you from above so you can go for an ice cream run. Pick me up the Frog who has gumballs for eyes or if they don't have that, one of those WWF wrestlers. Macho man of course.

You do realize it's impossible for a man like me to read this and not think of: A) The irony of running the treadmill to the sweet, sweet sounds of the Trans-Fat Express...or...
B) Eddie Murphy's iconic "You ain't got no iiiiiiiiiiice cream!"
This would a lot better if I had any clue how to make line breaks. Now that the door's open, all of you uber-tech-savvy readers can maul me...

I SAW A ROBIN TODAY, SAN! It divebombed my car :)
We don't have Mr Softee here- just an annoying ice cream van that plays "Turkey in the straw" complete with annoying clapping sounds. You can hear it for MIIILLLES.
