Hope You had a Happy 4th

Finally got a shot from a race. You can't fault a jersey that makes one look stout rather than fat (the camera adds 20lbs). The difference is subtle yet profound at the same time. My expression? ... Obviously my mind was somewhere else as usual these days. That and the lack of proper preparation in two important areas. One being not having a good nights sleep the night before, three hours is sufficient if it's a deep sleep, and second not having a good bowel movement in the morning.
The 'Crappy Bike Ride' was just that. My wife showed interest in attending, so we decided to go and exercise our social skills. We need a lot more exercise. While PBR was the standard, we split an ale of the ginger variety before the ride commenced. Riding as a pack is always a pleasure. And the destination, high in the State Fair park grandstands, can't be beat for the 4th of July as you can see fireworks going off all over the county. We decided to hold to some standards of maturity and didn't continue with the group to Gille's afterwards. We left the children to frolic in their childish ways and went home early and caught the new 'Dr Who' on TV. The general consensus was the ride wasn't crappy enough. The lack of crappiness something both Misao and I contributed to.

Thinking of going all cellular (or broadband) with our phone and Internet. May lose our old number but that line is on the fritz again after the storms a while back. "I hear neighbors." Can save a bit of cash. Even changing my number I don't think I'm a hard man to reach.

Thanks for sharing to those who don't copyright their photos on Flikr.
