Another thought

I posted this for someone else, but now I’m reposting it for me … because, sometimes I need the reminder, too:

Life is an endless journey, like a broad highway that extends infinitely into the distance. The mind provides a vehicle to travel on that road. The journey consists of constant ups and downs, hope [...]

A thought to ponder

Here’s a question to ponder: when you’re in your 40s, but you’d still like to be a parent someday, do you think it would be better to:

a) date someone relatively close to your same age who already has children?

or

b) date someone younger (late 20s/early 30s) who can still have children without [...]

2010 Ride #26

Emigration to Little Mountain summit. Legs felt good, lungs felt okay, but did have to hit the asthma inhaler a couple of times. The chip seal in Emigration Canyon is a little rough, but not nearly as bad as I’ve seen elsewhere.

It was [...]

NUMBNESS

I have not felt a thing for weeks. But getting up and going to work on time I did what needed to be done, then rushed home. And even the main streets, those ancient charmers, Failed to amuse me, and the fight between The upstairs couple was nothing but loud noise. None of [...]

Ugh. Headwind the whole way home. That hurt. I figure I get to count it as two rides if the Garmin logs it as two separate rides, right?

2010 Ride #23

Screwed up the GPS today; so you’ll have to take my word for it.

Down Holladay Blvd. to Cotton Bottom, then up past the Old Mill to Porcupine. South on Wasatch to Danish Road; Danish to Bengal Blvd. to 27th East, back to Porcupine on Fort Union, then dropped back down past the Old Mill [...]

INSOMNIA

But it’s really fear you want to talk about and cannot find the words so you jeer at yourself

you call yourself a coward you wake at 2 a.m. thinking failure, fool, unable to sleep, unable to sleep

buzzing away on your mattress with two pillows and a quilt, they call them comforters, [...]

Wah wah wah! Team RadioShack crying about Vuelta exclusion

Team RadioShack manager Johan Bruyneel has called for a shake-up in the running of professional cycling following his team’s exclusion from the Vuelta a España.

Bruyneel was angered that his team, co-owned by Lance Armstrong, did not receive one of the six wildcard places on offer from organisers Unipublic for the 22-team Spanish tour, despite [...]

Cav’s crash

Mark Cavendish has been catching a lot of heat for causing the crash in Tuesday’s stage at the Tour of Switzerland, but when you watch the video of the crash, it’s really not that clear.

I see Cavendish throwing his bike left to right as he is accelerating, but he is still holding his [...]

The Party of “Hell, no!”

I love it when a magazine with a decidedly conservative bent takes the American right to task for some of its idiotic tactics.

It is sad to report that the American right is in a mess: fratricidal, increasingly extreme on many issues and woefully short of ideas, let alone solutions.

At a time when redesigning [...]
