Resistance is Futile

are they any good? ;)

in his life? I think is so many that he can transform in something that i don’t see him doing along the all season.

Man I hate how that road is all bumpy and shi*t, they need to pave it over, widen it too.

I haven’t had a moment’s rest in the last two or three weeks. First there was “Richard Scary presents: Dan’s Adventure Week” that had me in the gym 5 days, doing a night dive, rock climbing class and then a 3 tank dive boat trip off he coast of Catalina, followed by a week’s worth of failed bandwidth upgrades for the home office here (I’m looking at you XO Communications!!!!), after which I was graced with the announcement from the County of Los Angeles that I had to report for Jury Duty today and possibly serve until next week… which would be bad, since I leave for Egypt on Sunday.

Well… I survived Adventure week, including a fantastic dive through a a kelp forest using a mask with corrective lenses in it for the first time, was the only member of the climbing class to summit the hardest of the four pitches, got my Night Diving endorsement, kicked XO in the nuts and got our bandwidth doubled and successfully postponed Jury Duty today. I think I’ll celebrate by going to Egypt on Sunday.

I should also say that there was an official PodiumCafe MeatSpace encounter: I met Bethie and her son Wil at the Marriott where she was staying for a conference. Thanks for the Blue Moon Bethie!!!

Anyway… it’s nice to be missed… I suppose this is my official “I’m Going On Vacation Post”… and when I return, I expect Gavia to have sorted this rascally Astana team out.

And no… I haven’t seen the bartender since she shot me down months ago.

Ma’as salaama

I had to chuckle at the cyclingnews report

As the leaders hit the Koppenberg, the mad weather continued with snow making the riders surely feel comfortable. Boonen tested his rivals, some of whom had to unclip and walk up the slippery cobbles.

Some had to walk? I counted over fifty.

if the fans on the Koppenberg would boo loudly and throw things(nothing harmful) at the riders who walked up the climb? I think it would be quite amusing to watch and it would make the climb even that more challenging.

Please tell me it’s nearly April…? No, you say? I think I may start hibernating in the winter, like a marmot.
