Spring

Early March, Spring was just around the corner and since Dave was still doing his door to door job for the Echo, were warm weather is unbelivably helpful, that could only mean one thing.

Snow. Lots and lots of snow.

The snow left Dave with a mixture of feeling, fear of sliding flat on his face in front of potential customers, concern that such heavy snow at this time of year was early signs of the horrors Global Warming would produce and finally a sense of "oooh snow... pretty...." It was a magical time of year, when small children could create and then brutally murder inocent snowchildren.

Another symptom of Early March was Lent. Dave and his friends, a few days late, sat around and made some vows. Shell, who lacked imagination, went for giving up chocolate, again. Isadrunk decided to not talk about horroscopes. This of cause then became the center of the disscusion, everyone talking about various horroscopes and getting it all wrong while Isadrunk turned blue holding her breath. After a while, Jean had given up playing Spider Solitaire, a serious addiction of hers, and Dave had sworn to do 50 press-ups a day.

On returning home that evening, Dave dropped to the floor and got right into it.

"11.... 12..... aaahhh.... " said Dave, as he collasped, "50 comes right after 12 right?"

Jean didn't hear him. She was busy playing Spider Solitaire.

haha!!
But I believe that 50 "press ups", whathever that is, could be quite dangerous.
Any kind of sport is dangerous anyway, but "50 press ups" that sounds really scary.
you should give up white chocolate instead ;)

A press up is when u balance yourself on your hands and toes and then use your arms to move your body up and down.

oooh love it when u talk manly like that dave, not all sports are dangerous mimi some like rugny are sadistic and others like football are just boring.

You do know though that u need to give your muscles time to recover don't you dave? If you keep doing too press ups everyday you're gonna end up hurting your shoulders. Swap between press ups one day and sit ups the next.
