Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

No. He's referring to the extraordinary and undeniable advantages of home cooking.

BITD where I went to school, adding semesters would have been the only way. Since I was happy to get out in 3.5 years, I wasn't hanging around for that.

Remember it was common to find a life partner before or during college in those days. And the usual approach to living together was marriage. And the prerequisite for marriage among the more responsible folks was employment. QED

Haha @BillyD, I just realized you were referring to age with the "significant" question. Nine years, he was nine years older than me.

So I'm younger than @datlas and older than @Velo Vol, if you're making an Addiction timeline.

Bunny, Muffy, Vol, Heathpack, Datlas, 3Alarmer.

I don't think Australians are that good at whistling while they [strike]talk[/strike] mumble.

BTW, I'm just joshing about Sean Kelly. I love to hear him cover racing.

I'm downloading Tour of Flanders in Dutch, however.

There are many alternatives that supply a high pineapple dosage like upside-down cake, yum.

I'm looking forward towards retirement. It's the end of retirement that I'm not so much looking forward to.

Oh, and happy birthday!

I actually was, but I figured you were ducking that topic so . . . . what kind of fool is going to continue pressing for a woman's age? LOL
