    coolio

    I had a coolio ride today as i now have a compact double on my bike Wow what a difference it made on the hills i played on today in Kings Park & near Freo. I will have to test it out on some real hills on Mundaring Weir Road..

    I think it was Trekhawk that suggested it

    My legs are happier

    Today is awesome because:

    - after being sick for 9 days (and off the bike),
    - I slept all night without NyQuil
    - I had a pound of fresh strawberries for breakfast,
    - I'm looking forward to watching SilverSon in the Academic Bowl STATE championships tomorrow at Purdue, and
    - I'm looking forward to riding with Silver this weekend

    The skip is back in my step!

    also;
    old ex flame whom I contacted after 8 years wrote me.
    sadly,
    was going to get married, but got addicted to drugs.His girl left him for another and then suicided.
    He three years later,cleaned up , had another girl but she moved in with him, unasked.
    Never payed rent.
    He threw her out,and she SUED HIM!
    Hes 3000 in debt from doctors bills, overdue rent,general bills, is on food stamps and sold his beloved acoustic guitar to pay rent. had to get a bankruptcy.

    Whats awesome, is that I have money saved up, and am sending him a 1000!!( he was always really good to me, even though it never worked out.
    I am waiting to see what he says( I bet he will be surprised!)

    Awesome things (well, only to me) today so far:

    *Finished my daily ride, etc. -32 kms. today.
    *Found out my dearie is about 100 kms. outside of Brussels.
    *Wierd, but not awesome: trying to prepare for test. However I think the testing is rigged and hence, the "winner" won't be me. Guess I should feel complimented for being selected in the shortlist. It's like going for a bike ride and knowing already one will finish near last in the end.

    And not awesome: Found out a few days ago that my father may have strong possibility of prostate cancer. He turned 80 earlier this year.

    Today is totally awesome because it's FRIDAY!

    But besides that:

    * I got in a great workout this morning - an 18 mile ride on my trainer to Cardio Coach. Yowza!
    * I'm going to see American in concert tonight.
    * I have the most awesome daughter in the world
    * I have very cute, sweet, well-behaved dogs who make me laugh.
    * I commuted in to work, so I get to ride my pinkified Surly home (and smile every time I look at her!).

    - Proving someone wrong, in a very polite manner of course, at work
    - Having the greatest little pup in the world who makes me laugh every day
    - Having the best BF in the world who supports me in every way
    - being healthy enough to ride my first century tomorrow!

    Assuming you mean America , have a great time! Long time fan here who is not going, mainly because of the ticket price this time . If you're lucky, there will be a meet & greet after the show. Dewey and Gerry are so nice in person.

    And if you are really in luck, a local singer-songwriter,Jeff Larson, will join them for the encore.
