Yeah but he may actually tell it like it is.

Every rider can get all corporate, telling their tale.Yet, every now and then we glean a morsel of insider perspective that really enlightens us.

"Watch it grow or whatever it does"

sounds like a line from Frankenstein or something, you better watch out and make sure you don’t lose control of it. The blog may never be allowed to become more powerful than the person that created it.

Gosh, Bethie, your signature line is so great;

one of my proudest possessions an original 1967 Surrealistic Pillow vinyl album; I bought it in college with money I earned typing up religious plays for the campus minister for $2.65/hour (which was a mighty sufferfest, indeed.) Ah, the memories….so cool.

I think I charged a dollar a page for double spaced, no typos.

You need to read up on Meatball if you like Will and Michael.

And having another view is bad why?

Did someone not have enough cake yesterday to approach this as a bad thing?

I’ve always liked Bobby so reading his view is interesting but that’s just me of course. I’ll be surprised a bit though if more think this is not worthy as I think many of us enjoy reading cycling books and such from different riders. I certainly enjoy the many blogs I read on a regular basis as that person’s view of the races is usually not like the coverage view we get.

pssst

I think he was trying to be funny ;-)

by gavia on Nov 20, 2008 12:59 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Indeed

Though for the record, before our party DS Littler Bear stuck his naughty little paws in my cake, with extreme prejudice. Fortunately, he’s under 2, and has mastered the art of thinking something is funny as a way of getting us to think it’s funny.

I had gathered that, but as I now

reread what I typed, I certainly didn’t note that I got that. I was actually kinda snobby. Geesh. Thank gosh today is my Friday here at work. :-)

Maybe if Chris had shared his cake with us

today would not be such a day. LOL!
Hope you had a good evening Chris and ate enough cake for us too. Although Drew might require you to eat an entire 2nd cake before he’s had his fill. :-)

lol, now i'm hungry

maybe we’ll have to celebrate chris’s birthday tonight at the gav shack with a few cupcakes….

by gavia on Nov 20, 2008 1:29 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

That's a start.

Then, to keep us in cake for the rest of November, here are some more upcoming birthdays:

Nov. 24—Luis Leon Sanchez Gil
Nov. 26—Ivan Basso
Nov. 26—Bauke Mollema
Nov. 27—Francesco Chicchi
Nov. 29—Cyril Dessel

If that’s not enough, I’m sure I must have left out a few. Plus we just missed Bobby Julich’s birthday on the 18th—if only he’d blogged about it!—but can always celebrate retroactively.

by majope on Nov 20, 2008 1:42 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

awesome

so pretty much i can have cupcakes every day, and it’s pretty much guaranteed to be somebody’s birthday. sweet.

by gavia on Nov 20, 2008 1:46 PM EST up reply actions 0 recs

Anyone for a white chocolate covered raisin?

Hurry, or I’ll munch them all up singlehandedly! And yes, I know white chocolate isn’t really chocolate blah blah blah….we’ve been through that before ;-)

Now we simply must celebrate the birthday of Mr Guilty Pleasure with much cake…..and many pictures. Mmmmm (on both counts)
