    actually i wasn't referring to anything in particular. you can use your imagination for what *censored* is in that.

    i was trying to joke and lighten the mood seeing im in a GREAT mood now that i'm drying off and warm. and i don't like when everyone is upset.

    though after all that my kodak moment seems kinda insignifcant.

    and does that mean you wont give me all your personal information trek?

    salsa, my brother had a siamese that loved watermelon rinds. She also liked to latch on to his cocker spaniel's ears; then Pepper would spin in circles. Animals can be quite bizzare......

    MP- I even had it on my MTB- it's been there for the last three permanent and two trial saddles. (Like since 1999) I thought at first it was an ingrown hair, or cyst, or, I don't know. Probably not the same ingrown hair for seven years, huh? I ought to have my gyn nurse look at it, but it's never there when she's looking at it. See this kind of vague purplish deal that you can't feel or anything? Well, when I ride my bike, sometimes, but not always, it swells up to the size of half a pea and hurts like a bi*ch!! Sometimes. Then it's gone in a day. I have worse things to worry about.

    Salsa, I found Maizey last July when I had pneumonia and couldn't go to work but felt guilty laying around so was out doing yard work with a 104F fever. I lifted up a pile of brush, and there she was, like a jewel in the grass. I love her. But not this week, after all the trouble she's causing!

    I had banana pudding after my ride, and after my swim/float down the river. it apparently didn't cause me to break out in world peace...

    I musta missed something with the PMs and censored stuff. As usual, I'm in my usual state of confusion. 'sokay though. Had a wonderful ride today with my sweetie and my dad's MRI shows no brain involvement. Woohoo!

    We still have to deal with what's going in his abdomen. The cancer was above the diaphragm before so who knows. But for the moment, I'm rejoicing.

    Oh yeah. Remember in Lance's book It's Not About the Bike when he talks about the brain lesions? Big time serious stuff when it goes across the brain/blood barrier. Not to mention, the fewer sites involved the better but as I understand it there are two basic things you do not want - opposite sides of the diaphram and in the brain.

    Ride was just from Davis out and over Cantelow. Nothing really special just a quiet day with Bubba after a crappy week. I found out about Dad when I called my mom from the airport on Monday as I was leaving for Scottsdale.

    The ride was a bit more adventurous than normal because we saw road constructions signs but didn't think anything of it. Half of California has road construction after the winter rains. It turned out that about 3/4 mile of road was ripped down to bare dirt and some gravel. No big deal except for the last eighth mile where they were actively grading and watering. After slipping sideways a few times (and being grateful for our mtbike skills), we walked. Looks cleats and mud -- not so good. And funny thing, Bill's Seven was not built for mud clearance between the tire and the seat tube. We'll have to register a complaint. Of course, the Mercian sailed through. I really like the makeover.

    Man, hugs and love to everyone with family in medical straits right now. SK, CWR, SB, and anyone I missed!

    You're all in my thoughts (when I'm not busy being full of myself)

    Oh! When I pulled in last night, I managed to find a newt (I'm not up on my amphibians, but I think it was a firebelly- coppery on top, didn't really look at his belly) sitting under DGF's car, looking up at me. Never saw 'em like that in WI, so it got exceptional amounts of attention and adoration. (probably as much as the fist-sized toads who love nothing more than to leak when picked up)

    ...God, I've got to go back to school. That wildlife bio major keeps laughing at me from the parallel universe where I actually *got* it.

    Good about your dad. I do recall that part of the book. Okay. Still, cancer's just plain bad.

    If you join the Trek Fan Club, you too can glean important personal information! Call now, with your credit card handy!

    (Hi Trek, dear! send me those credit card numbers, ok?)

    Hey, speaking of nice abs (not that we were, but I'm rather high on myself at the moment) I think my legs look particularly nice today. The big black numbers add a certain je n'sais quois. but actually, while I was admiring my numbers i just happened to notice that my legs are fiiiine. I should post a before pic from when I was around 200lbs. And an after pic of my lovely lustable legs. (and abs. mustn't forget the abs)

    Yes, ladies, I am FULL of myself today!
