Spring Training

Well Spring training baseball is here and the Cleveland Indians have asked me to pitch a couple games for them as a closer. I pitched a shutout 9th inning yesterday en route to a 12-2 win against the Houston Astros. I won't be the regular closer, but I will be ready whenever they need me and I will not be denied!

Jeopardy

Last week I got something in the mail asking if I wanted to be on Jeopardy. This has always been a lifelong dream of mine, so I sent it in right away. Turns out I got chosen and today I appeared on the show. I answered the final Jeopardy question correct and doubled my score to win the game. My total earnings were only $14,000 less than the highest amount ever won on the game!

Collecting trash for cash

I underestimated the cost of living out here in California and decided that I needed to get a second job. It's not the most glamorous position but it gives me a good upper body workout. As you can tell, the steroids Arnold gave me from the intense workout on Monday wore off drastically. But with my new job I am hoping to achieve a ripped body the old fashioned way.

The Governator

Sometimes you never know what or who you're going to run into. I ran an easy 10 miles today around San Diego and saw a bus with Arnold Schwarzenegger's name written across it as well as his picture. It was parked in front of the USA Fitness Center, so I went inside. Turns out Ahnold was working out. I went in to meet him. We talked for awhile, then he asked if I wanted to workout with him. I felt like a whole new person afterwards.

Snoop Dogg

I went on a little trip to Long Beach and then to Compton. I figured there would be some interesting adventure that would take place. Sure enough, I caught up with Snoop D.O. Double G while he was filming his new music video. He stepped aside and I got this sweet photo with him.

San Diego Zoo

I finally arrived in San Diego and decided to search the area. I ran to the zoo and snuck into the lions' den for a little adventure. Good thing the lion was distracted by something!

Rocky Mountain High

Once I got back on the road again I was able to meet up with a couple of my friends who were staying at a cabin in Colorado. Here's a sweet photo Bill took while I was rippin through some fresh powder...

Sunk

I was trying to do a river crossing in my Suburban and unfortunately I got stuck! Luckily, some locals pulled my vehicle out to dry land and it only suffered a little water damage.

Obama Visit

Today I arrived in Illinois after a long day of travel. I looked out my window and who did I see? Presidential hopeful and senator of Illinois, Barack Obama. I stopped to get this photo with him.

First Stop - Indianapolis

After five hours on the road and over 300 miles covered I decided it was time for a rest and a quick run. I stopped in Indianapolis and explored the city some on foot. I could see the Colts stadium in the distance and decided to do an out and back to it. As I got closer, I noticed a huge "Welcome Colts Fans" banner hanging from the entrance. I entered the stadium and realized they were having an open house for the public. What an opportunity to walk on the field of last year's Super Bowl champs!

Here's a photo of me jogging through across the field. I decided to take advantage of the occasion and do a couple 100-meter sprints on the field. Good workout: 7 miles.

Westward

My journey west begins this weekend and I will be posting updates here as I make my way across the country to my new job in San Diego. I am sure there will be many sights to see. Enjoy the days and months ahead as I embark on my expedition.

HITE!
