I stopped by the lbs and it's going to be 10-14 days still on my bike. BUT, I got to ride a 1.2 in the size I want and wsd model, and it felt good, so now I'm even MORE excited!

As I mentioned in another friend's blog -- Next year, I'm going to tell my students that every time they misuse an apostrophe, God kills a puppy.<BR/><BR/>Bourbon is a good bevvy to grade by ... perhaps I should give it a go ... Evenings of single malt scotch just didn't seem to do it this time around :oP.<BR/><BR/>What's the news on the bike front? I just got back from a few days visiting friends in Manhattan, and I'm itching for a ride ... I found myself ogling bike couriers, not for their chiseled legs, but for their rides!<BR/><BR/>S.Amanda Bonnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12956743498061548191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17974015.post-41599539528596877922007-05-08T22:02:00.000-07:002007-05-08T22:02:00.000-07:00Bardiac, I could swear that you're grading my stud...Bardiac, I could swear that you're grading my students' papers right now.
