I am trying to remind myself that the risks outweigh the benefits and it is a limited time. The worst thing would be if I hit my head, even with a helmet, I would bleed profusely inside my skull. That would not help my GPA.....

Oh, Lord, do we STILL have to be worried about our GPAs? That's a reason to wear a helmet, even without blood thinners.

"Bleeding Profusely Inside The Skull" never ends well.

I flunked out of chemistry in night school at the state university the year after I won the Lincoln Scholar award and graduated from the University of Chicago with honors and ... yes, there was alcohol involved .

Also I got a "C" at U of C in a class on crystal structure. Why on earth was I in that class anyway? I have NO idea. I am positive I did not sign up for it. And I wasn't even drinking that much that year. Hmmm. Lost in the mists of time. I do remember I was pissed off because it was the only "C" I got in college.

My sister remembers my SAT scores. Whyyyyy? Because she got higher ones. I have not the foggiest idea what they were. Along the same lines, I have no idea what my average speed is. Usually, when I'm pedalling, I'm going 15 mph on the Bianchi, 19-20 if I'm pushing hard, 9 when the wind is awful, and zero at the stop lights. I tried to find my average speed on my computer--dunno. And hey, wow, I just don't care! It's fun to go fast, it sucks to fight for 9 mph, and so it goes! L.

It's a posting frenzy tonight! Fish--dunno when the next date is. Mr. P. was headed out of town for the 4th, and we sort of vaguely left it with he'd call me when he got back...of course I'll keep you posted! Really, now, I'm taking a nap...really...does anyone want to talk about Peter Reid? Cuz I could stay up for that...heh heh L.
