ED. - We had lunchies with triathlete/embroidery guy/amazingly good rookie nordic skier Bendon O'Flanagan last Monday. Gosh, he's a cool guy. And one of the most honorable dudes you'll ever meet. Last August we posted a story about Brendon's confrontation with a litterer. For those who may have missed that story, here it is:
"Hey!" Brendon called in a controlled voice; neither too loud, nor too combative. He walked briskly toward the escaping vehicle.
The taxi driver, who was backing out of a space in the Cub parking lot, stopped and turned his face to his summoner.
Their eyes met.....

Going Off Course - Dave Schutz is a really nice guy. He is also the recently appointed director of the Life Time Fitness Minneapolis Triathon and the founder/director of Trinona, which was named 2010 Triathletes Choice Race of the Year. He has a smoking hot wife and rad son named Kaler, age 14 months.
Life is good, right?....

His tone was both pleasant and businesslike. He was a professional; the #1 bagger at Hy-Vee's South Lucust Street location in Dubuque.
The oblivious woman didn't answer. Her groceries, almost $600's worth so far, were piling up on the conveyor belt.
"Excuse me, ma'am. Would you prefer paper or plastic?" Outwardly, The Bagger was in control. Internally, he was becoming frantic. Groceries had begun to spill onto the floor. The scene resembled an episode of "I Love Lucy."...
EVEN MORE MAD LOVE...
