Aggie - thanks for the hangover cure. So far, so good. But DH woke up with a cold, so no ride this morning (I'm kinda grateful, I'm not sure I'd be doing much)

Brandy - OMG, when I read that you did that climb twice I was awed. I complain about being slow on my small climbs (a 6% incline is still hell for me.) You are my hero.

Susan - your photos are beautiful. I love to look at Mt Ranier and the only thing better than looking at it for me, is flying out of SEATAC and getting a view from the air. I lived there for 18 months and the pacific NW is one of my favorite places in the country. It was there that I discovered what real salmon is. The stuff we all eat in the rest of the country is a bad imitation. You guys get the real stuff -and once I tasted it, I was spoiled for life.
