Maya used to think I was Peter Reid, until Lise had to point out to her that I didn't have a TURKEY NECK!!! ;-0

fishdr- I used to be on a mailing list with a guy who consistantly typed like this...So every time I do it I am overly conscious of it...I try to limit myself to only one...per message/e-mail...we used to make fun of him behind his back by imitating his style...don't worry, though, he was and is a super jerk...

I have needed a new pair of sunglasses for on the bike for several months. I have Smith Toasters, which I like, but they were my first pair of bike glasses ever. Finally, one of the little blak nose rubber things fell off. i found it, though, and put it in my Trashy Cat coin purse in my bento box for later reattachment. But then, a few days later, I was oging to put some more Sport Beans in, and ofund this little black thing, and threw it away, because I'd forgotten what it really was...

So anyway, I've been resisting these for a long time. I have never had Oakleys before. I know everyone thinks you're paying for just the name, but you know what, Oakley was the ONLY one of Lance's sponsors that didn't desert him when he was diagnosed with cancer.

If they suck, I'll send them back. But they are my favorite colors, pink and purple! And not too unreasonable a price.

The Smiths I had have the interchangeable lenses, which is a great idea, if you actually do it. I rode them on MTB with the yellow lenses for years, then put in the dark lenses for road biking. But I don't like glasses when I first start out- it's too humid or something, and I don't like them when it's dark, either.

My driving glasses have yellow polarized lenses, which are the BEST, but very hard to find. I think STP has a pair, but they are super dorky. I don't like blak frames.

Every time I spell "black," it comes out "blak." I've just been correcting it. Do you think that is a link to my Coke Blak addiction???

I am having wine leftover night. HRM 40 Pound Rooster Pinot Grigio, and Bogle Petite Syrah. I read in a book that pinot gris is the grape that pinot grigio is made out ofm and in Italy it is a light wine that may as well be lemon water. In Washington and Oregon and some parts of California, they make pinot gris wine, which is much richer and more complex.

I don't think I am going to buy any more Pinot Grigio. White wines are so confusing. Reds are kind of all the same, only in degrees. Whites are so complex and varied. I like both. I used to be really into super sweet whites like Riesling and Gewurtztraminer, and still like them, but am appreciating things like Viognier and Gruner Veltliner and even Sauvignon Blanc more (although SV is widely variable). And then there is Chardonnay, which I have only recently learned to like, but already it's sort of all tasting like butter to me...I have a chart in the back of my wine tasting log which lists all my Chardonnays and what their characteristics are and how I rated them. And Chenin Blanc is something I tasted a lot a while ago- there's one from Oregon? Washington? that I love- Snoqualmie. Chenin Blanc is very distinct.
