Wow. I think I just set a world record for the number of edits for one message.

I'm a major fan of the edit button myself.

Yep, they say one cookie is one serving. So far, I have been able to hold myself to one cookie per day. It was late last night when I looked at the "energy" per cookie. Good Lord, I thought. I must clarify this with the help of Thread Drift in the morning!

Nanci, when's your next ride in the Brevet series?

There is no such grammar as chocolate biscuit (sing.
There are only chocolate biscuits (plural)
Unless there is only one left in the packet - which is not a situation that one can imagine will last long enough to be talked/written/read or in any way ,shape or form grammar-ed about

I just spent the last hour, cleaning Bleu the Bike from tip to tail. Poor thing was quite filthy, she lives under the vent where the dryer blows. When at rest she normally wears a coat, to protect her delicate parts from lint and smutz, but I forgot to dress her last time. I'm a lousy mom.

Now she's shiny, no crud in her lovely chain, cassette looks almost new. I'll let her rest a bit, then return her tires and lube her chain. I have new brake pads too, I should put them on while I have her semi-dismantled.


***now, shall I get cleaned up myself and go hunt down some of these elusive TimTams......93 calories...thats 2 WW points. Hmmmmm***

I want a Tim Tam!!

I just did a 2 hour trail run/hike with my riding partner. She actually claimed to be tired, which is unheard of! Maybe she was just being nice (and she obviously was being nice to even go do this with me in the first place!). I will say the vigorous hiking/running works different muscles than cycling, so things that don't normally feel tired after a ride definitely feel tired after this.

It was cold, wet and foggy. If it is like this next weekend it will be perfect for the Tam double/Marin century.

That sounds great, MP. I actually like cold, wet, and foggy for anything approximating running.

The air was densely humid when Jamie and I went out for a run at 6 AM, but in the '80s already. Felt like breathing through a piece of wet felt. We were dripping sweat within a 1/2 mile.

I don't know how folks in So. Cal are holding up. It's "only" 91 here--feels like an oven.

TD reunion! (Or does there need to be a union first, before we can have a re-union?) My house for TimTams!

Grammar grinches: Today at the grocery store, a clerk pronounced fo-li-age as foil-age. OH! I thought! I must tell TE!

Cold, wet, and rainy. Oddly enough that sounds really inviting right now. It's so humid here that it just occasionally spits a drop of rain at you. That felt good this morning when I was out.

Our project today is to get the garage cleaned out. It never functions as a garage, but as a woodworking workshop and toy storage and bike storage. So far today, we've cleaned out the attic and donated a bunch of yardsale-y stuff to the local church. It feels good to get rid of the playpen, highchair, etc. Now, we can take stuff from the house and garage and put it up in the attic. Poor Mr. Fish is melting. Even with the clouds it's 94F.

Ohhhhh - remember my whining about my hot office? It turns out my thermometer was wrong and it was more like 85-90 in there. And now they've "fixed it". It was 63F in my office yesterday. That's a bit chilly, but beats 90F!
