    Aero bars. Mmmmmmm. Whenever I go to Vancouver I gotta buy a bunch of Aero bars. the chocolates, not the kind you put on the bike...

    Meeting was interesting. There was a huge, grandiose, paranoid, bizarre soap opera going on that I knew nothing about. Did you know I'm Satan, Sadam Hussein, Hitler, Osama bin Laden, AND Mata Hari? (jk)

    Anyway, i stayed calm and reasonable. Aide threw a temper tantrum at owner #2. Ummmm, you don't do that... not cool.

    Came out of it feeling much better than when I went in, and aide was left holding her bag and is still stewing.

    Owners asked me several times if I was doing ok, and nearly apologizing for aide's behaviour. Thanked me for my patience.

    Fish - "it all works out in the end" is my mantra! How cool to see you post it, too! (corollary is: it may not be the way you wanted it to work out, but it works out)

    gotta go get a haircut and visit the bank. I'm housesitting so don't have much access to the computer right now. See you guys around!

    Are they famous Aussies I should be aware of?

    I wonder if they know where to find good Shiraz.

    Oh, Malbec. I really like that. The one I love the most is Bodega Norton. It's hard to find the ones that there are reviews on, and the ones in the stores aren't reviewed. So it's more of a carpshoot testing them out.

    Just wondering. Why would someone put a capital on the first letter of every word in a sentence? (This relates to a poster on another thread...)

    Oh, like they were going to come ask us out, anyways? I had a magnetic appeal for gay boys and gay boys who were soon to enter the priesthood in my twenties. Much money could be made on the psychoanalysis of that, I'm sure. In the meantime...we can look! The swimmers, they have the very nice bodies!

    I, myself, was pondering the capitalization of every frickin' word. That is a lot of work. Very difficult to read, too. I wondered--German? But they capitalize only the nouns, not every...well, you know.

    Darned thoughtful of you, salsa! Hmmmm...I'll start with the one with hair, but when the bald one gets tired of you all rubbing his head, you can send him over, too! ...and, in light of this being a family forum and all...I'll stop there!

    Knotted, good for you. Keep us posted.

    I did something of a brick today. I rode to work (3 mi), saw 1/2 day of pts, rode home, ate lunch, napped 45 min, rode to a work meeting (3 mi), rode another 8 miles, locked the bike in the basement, ran upstairs, peed, put on the ipod, and went out to run. So, essentially, 8 mi ride, 2 mi run. Walked at least 1/2 of the second mile, sweat pouring off me. But my legs felt good. It was my lungs/heart. Keeping on. I have more hope that I can do OK in the tri 8/20. Running. That's the piece to keep working on.
