I’m still here…
Despite the pumpkin pie, ice cream, rum cake and cookies… I can still walk. Typing, though, is a different story. I got rather lazy on vacation and as you probably noticed didn’t post a thing to my blog.
I had a bunch of pretty good thoughts but that’s about it.
It was so nice to just veg with my family. I [...]
Soup for me…
Well, I’m feeling much better and my voice is almost 100%. What I thought was just an annoying cold turned out to be a nice case of Bronchitis. Even though I was hacking up a lung, that shouldn’t have kept me from writing another post on my blog… but you know how you feel sometimes. I read [...]

What’s under your tree?
We’re cyclist… it’s what we know. It’s what we do. It’s our hobby. It’s what we study and read about. We blog about it. We know all the details of our bikes… our favorite brands of components… glasses… gloves… jerseys… shorts… socks… shoes. And as a cyclist, you know, the list goes on. So, here’s where I’m going with this. Do we really try [...]
