Picked up the wife at the airport last night. Roads are sheet (ice), a 1.5 hour RT took nearly 3. Looks like no race for me this weekend. On the bright side I get to pound out stupid efforts on the rollers.

Whoopee!!!

My three year old nephew is super into Star Wars. The other day, while in the bathroom, he told my sister: "I'm using the force to get the poop out!"

It's not like we video conference during the sessions or race over the Internet.

I asked him to buy a rum drink for me and throw it in the ocean as an offering. You can sacrifice a virgin for me. This weather is killing me.

I was going to riff about light sabers off of this and I thought, no, that's just wrong wrong wrong.

Still ill and off the bike since my Monday night ride. My mind is wandering during the down time. I'm thinking about Hed Jet 6/9. I like my Easton EC70 SL (which are 38s), which I use for training and racing. But, I've had deep in the back of my mind for a bit. Do I really need to spend $1000 or so? This seems like a pretty reasonable price. And what about our friend Psimet? But, he goes to 50. Ah, the flu has had some strange effects. I'm going back to sleep shortly.

The wit of this writer is hilarious. I suppose you might as well have some fun if you're going to die of cancer. 2 year old article, but his writing is incredible.

Define too-young. Young at heart, sure. He's a geyser like the rest of you guys.

Okay maybe not, but he's sick and I feel like making fun of him when he can't defend himself!

My daughter called. She missed having straight As by one point.
She will be grounded until she brings that 92 up to a 93. I blame the snow up north. I don't know how. But I suspect it's the cause.
