Tales From The Inbox - March 20, 2009

Carolina Dealin': It almost sounds like California dreaming but they're on the other side of the country and much less populated. I was contacted by this new blog about golf deals in the Carolinas. They've got stories about choosing a golf instructor and other golf content. It looks like they've just started up this month so give 'em a look if you're headed to Myrtle Beach or thinking of going.

Of course, once I said California dreaming the song stuck in my head and hence today's video.

A-Rod Loves Himself: If you don't believe it, just check out his new spread for Details magazine. The picture where he is kissing the mirror...ouch...

How To Look Like A Utah Jazz Dancer: Yes, I thought the title was interesting also. I received this link a week or so ago that is an interview with a few members of the Jazz dancers. They talk about their fitness routines and eating habits but not with great detail. I would have liked to see an actual workout routine example like what exercises they are really doing in the 30 or 40 minutes (Cardio? Weights?) or an actual meal plan. I really think this could have been a bit more informative about the actual fitness aspect of being on a dance squad as opposed to talking about hair, makeup, and tanning. I did like that one of the dancers said that they are encouraged to be athletic and not skinny.
