4000 Miles ????

Damn, I was riding my bike the other day and I noticed the odometer on my bike hit 500 miles. I was pretty stoked about this. I felt this was a fairly decent milestone in my biking.

For some reason I started singing to myself, "500 miles" a la Big Country. Couldn't really come up with many other lines to the song, just fragments, "between a father and a son", "500 miles", that was about it.

So I asked Lotus if she knew what the song was by Big Country that had the line 500 miles in it. I think she said something like, who the f..k is Big Country.

So tonight I finally found a few websites (There are more than one if you can believe that) that have the lyrics to all of big county's songs. Then I remember the line, "in fields of fire" at the end of the song. Turns out that is the title.

But as you have guessed by now, he wasn't singing "500 miles", he was singing "4000 miles". Fuck, I have along way to go now. Guess I need to order that new seat for my bike if I hope to make it that far.

I guess I am retaarded (how would you spell that to have the boston accent a la SNL?)

Secret Friends

I think Ronin has some secret friends we don't know about.

For no reason at all I noticed that he has seating for 6 people on his front patio now.

I just happen to know this, was just passing by since he lives on a busy street and all.

I SAT ON ALL 6 SEATING SURFACES TODAY!!!! COMMANDO!!!!

I hope your secret friends enjoy their seats.

It gets harder every day

I feel a lot older than I did just 6 months ago.

I went riding today and afterwords, my elbows were hurting, my neck was hurting, my left knee was hurting, I was just a mess. I also tripped on the dogs pillow becuase I was not lifting my feet very far off the ground (although it is a big pillow).

I was having some of these pains before when I would ride my bike, but I seemed to have traded a new knee pain (which is my old knee pain, it's just that it never bothered me before until I sprained my ankle back in February) for not having numbness in my hands and arms.

Maybe I just need to tweak my set up on the bike some more. I raised the seat today and that helped lessen the knee pain, but the elbow pain came back today and I have not had that since I sprained my ankle.

You know, I rode down Otay Lakes Rd today between Hunte and Eastlake pkwy. That road really sucks in that it is really bumpy. Maybe that is why I have the elbow pain today. I think I'll skip that piece for a while and see what happens.

Gee thanks for the advice!!!

Are you shitting me????

I was walking up stairs and in the background I thought I heard from the TV, the following: "When we come back, Brittney buys a new high chair for her baby".

When I came back down I asked Lotus, did I just hear what I thought I heard????

She said yes.....

AHHHHHHH, how many people were involved in that story. The fact that it was a tease, in that it was designed to make me want to stay tuned to hear about it. Again I say AHHHHHHHHHH

THE FACT THAT THERE WAS VIDEO OF HER WITH HER SON COMING OUT OF TOYS R US WITH THIS HIGHCHAIR.... AHHHHHHHHH

THE FACT THAT I ACTUALLY DID COME BACK TO WATCH THE SEGMENT (sort of, I came back to it a few minutes later just to see via tivo).

I HATE MYSELF AND THEM

I think it was a Graco high chair, maybe I'll look into that model.
