My High School Cross Country Times

Recently I found the 'Record Boards', that were used to post my race times for when I was on the Pennsauken Tech Cross Country Team in my Junior and Senior years. Hell you may have seen me wearing the t-shirt I kept from my senior year of High School from time to time on my Twitch streams (http://twitch.tv/fredcasden) Races were done at places like Cooper River Park. Gloucester Community College, Paul IV High School, Medford Technical High School. 

You may ask why don't I have records for my Freshman or Sophmore years, well its because I didn't join the Cross Country team until my Junior year (out of spite... but that's a long story), and I missed the first race of that season.  Also a big reason for the difference in times between my Junior and Senior years was because I was conned into enlisting in the Army Reserves via the delayed entry program, and for the summer of 2000 I was at Ft. Jackson in South Carolina going through boot camp for the United States Army.

Today's Notes 4/14/21

 Good morning everybody,

Last night's stream of Dragon Age Inquisition saw us finishing the main game, and it only took 97.5 hours to do so, granted about 85 hours were done on stream because of the scope and searching for various items to complete side-quests as well as the War Table meant I had to take care of various things off stream. Granted this meant some Inner Circle stuff was done off stream as well. Still with everything focused on the last few main line quests, I made sure to go down the path that saw us getting the surprisingly rare achievement On Burning Wings, which is done by not letting Morrigan drink from the well of sorrows. Overall I've enjoyed Dragon Age Inquisition a lot more than I did Dragon Age Origins in terms of game play and story pacing to allow me to get all but two achievements.

The only two achievements I did not get for the base game were Harald and Inquisitor which involve beating the game on Hard and Nightmare difficulties. Maybe someday when I'm glutton for punishment I'll attempt those.

Following last night's stream I found some things in a cabinet that I thought were thrown out long ago, so as I was sorting through I ended up watching Back to School, rather... and since I've watched that movie so much when it aired on the like of Comedy Central, it threw me off not to hear some of the poorly done dubbing of some lines. Also made a few attempts on the Uprising Bulletproof archive mission in Overwatch.... and it always falls apart at the end when one tries to be the hero and dive behind an OR-15 when there is a Bastion there as well. Like we come close, but no cigar.

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session went really well, practically perfect as we had no misses, but at the same time, there were a handful of punches that were poorly timed. Still steady progress is at the least steady. Because I woke up a tad late, I did not include anything extra into today's session.

Tonight we'll be returning to the world of Tom Clancy as I'll be starting up The Division, nearly one year after starting The Division 2, so think of it as a prequel I've never seen. More than likely we'll be joined by the likes of Iceman and PowerThumbz at some points as well!

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!


Persona 4 Golden and other notes

We opened up Persona 4 Golden tonight, and the intro certainly reminded me of the one for Persona 4 Dancing All-Night... and of course I mad...
