The eagle will land
Sooner than anyone expected! When I decided on a Lenz several days ago, I presumed I have months to search out good deals on parts while I waited for the frame. Then Brain gave me a buzz. Brain Blair, the donkey, KMC runner up (and last place finisher), Mr. Chickenlegsofsteel hisself. He works at The…

Good Morning
Lame though it is, and found only via checking email, this is rather interesting. The racial statistics in particular are revealing, though I find it enormously frustrating to see that half the country regards a gay couple parenting as problematic. The issues faced by a single-parent household pale besides those of a dysfunctional couple, though…

Mo’ Fun
Shrek’s sidekick wants to play with Aspens and lava rocks. Watch out. August-September, apparently. Got in a quality run with Eric and Dan at 0530. Nice and cool. Went to the gym with M, did small chores, grilled some dead critter, drank some Fischer, watched TV on the porch. I also got to indulge in…

Mixed Bag
Slept in and woke up at 0600. Ate breakfast, drank coffee, lounged about reading and drooling over bikes on the ‘net until I realized it was 0740, and I told Yuri I’d be at his camp on Elden no later than 0930. Silly. I couldn’t find the road he specified anyway, on top of being…

Priceless
So, the fat bonus, about which many rumors have been circulating recently, appeared silently in my box (and account) today. I feel like a big kid. I don’t feel comfortable throwing numbers around, but it is a very sizable percentage of my salary. It’s a bit hard to swallow just how much of it went…

Arrrrrg!
This is the first image that came up, googling the above.M and I joined the Y yesterday evening, so this morning I thought it wise to start the habit and wake up a bit before five and head over to do some working out. Arg indeed. Not so much from waking up early, these days…

Check out the (or many) bikes of the GDR here. Some very interesting setups, though you can pick those who DNF’d by the excess. I also firmed up the dates for the monstercross races, and decided to run the Prescott version as a scavenger hunt/scramble type event. In the interest of keeping it legit, it…

Who’s the man?
Justice Breyer (L). The last independent man, it would seem. Words. “Law is not an exercise in mathematical logic.” “It [Brown] sought one law, one Nation, one people, not simply as a matter of legal principle but it terms of how we actually live.” Bonus, Justice Stevens in dissent, Morse v. Frederick (the “Bong hits…

For the future
Cleaning up after the KMC. Things started well, miles disappearing and the rhythm coming on quickly. I was enjoying the ability, with gears, to push the subtle downs. After eight miles you get a massive gravel descent, the first mile very steep. On the tricky curve, I noticed one fat groove off to the side,…
