nod
When I read today's blog, it was some relief (is that the right adjective in this case??) but also my heart sank. I'm glad he was able to say what he had to.
I wear my FC jersey with pride

Fatcyclists blog has been inspiring and moving and often very funny, but it's just heart-breaking now. Especially because we all know it's been coming. I'm not sure I want to keep reading it now
but I don't think I can keep away either. I notice even BSNYC indirectly managed to point people to FC's blog today.

I would like to post a message of support on the FC site. The only thing stopping me is i don't want to look like an idiot & say the wrong thing.

Just say you're keeping him in your thoughts. It doesn't have to be original.

Oh. my. gosh. That's about the most horrendous thing I could imagine dealing with.
"How about if we all just try to follow these very simple rules of the road? Drive like the person ahead on the bike is your son/daughter. Ride like the cars are ambulances carrying your loved ones to the emergency room. This should cover everything, unless you are a complete sociopath."

Random babblings and some stuff to look at.

Could someone have told me to not have put on my eye makeup before reading? Beautiful. Poignant. Reminds me of the Mitch Albom book "For One More Day". Only he didn't take his day and savor it like Fatty has until after his loved one passed.
