How To Be A Real Man



I respect people who do the Iron Man thing. It's not easy to spend a day swimming 2.4 miles, then biking 112 miles and finishing off with a 26.2 mile marathon run.

I read about Dick Hoyt and probably wouldn't have noticed the Iron Man part except I saw he is 65. That's not trivial at any age, much less 65.

Then I saw that he is 65 and does this whole thing carrying his 44-year-old disabled son with him.

Feel like you're having a tough day? Watch this video. If you're a man and you don't break into tears then ... well, that's just not possible.

I consider it a good day when I have cried before 7am... Sheesh, thanks a lot.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (7:22 AM) : 

Danielle, I agree that is one bad dude ... in one very good way.

Today I feel kinda down that I am only a rock star, physicist, martial arts hero. That guy has a heart the size of Texas.

And that's pretty big.

 

Blogger The Grunt said ... (11:11 AM) : 

Truly inspiring. I couldn't do that with my brother, but I sure as hell can identify with those bonds.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (4:41 PM) : 

I haven't bawled like that since Ole Yeller died.

 

Blogger Lori Witzel said ... (3:02 AM) : 

Well, I wept.

What a beautiful, inspiring video. Makes my everyday wrangles so much less important.

And, despite the song, I can't even begin to imagine the training, and what that process was like for both of them.

 

Blogger Ev said ... (9:33 AM) : 

cash? is that you? where are all the naked women? who stole cash? i don't get it.

 

Blogger Chief Scientist said ... (9:53 AM) : 

Lori, yeah, I can't watch it any more. People will think I have a heart. People like ...

Ev - that's twice in two days you have tried to imply I have a sensitive side. I do ... but it can only be reached with your tongue.

There. Is THAT more like it?

 

Blogger Ev said ... (11:06 AM) : 

i have a long tongue. i don't know if it is that long.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (11:47 AM) : 

Mr. Grunt, is it long enough or not???

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (8:48 AM) : 

Oooh! I saw this awhile back, good stuff! I cried like a little baby through the whole thing.

 

Anonymous Anonymous said ... (10:40 AM) : 

Thanks Bug. I exposed my sensitive side to the internet ... now it's back to remarks about cocaine and supermodels, pretty much forever.
