no i'm not gonna use that song as a title

Wouldn't It Be Loverly? From My Fair Lady... yeah some musical's song was what i was riding with this morning. Seriously... musta been my cadence and something else... But "All I want, is a room some where" and on and on was heading through my brain.

The power/cadence is a bit different with the big kid in the trailer, that and i wanted to take the less busy streets and so i popped down the BLVD like i do when dropping off the youngest at daycare. The Hill up Lloyd was a bit of fun, adding 45 pounds to the trailer with about 10 psi in those tires on it certainly made for an extra power requirement...

I checked with Chris about the distance of the TT course. His mapping software has it at 6.61 miles, but it measures out usually to 6.8. a wopping 23 mph average... that seems so damn slow though. According to the map screen shot it has 3.22 miles of climbing... so definately not flat... And after reading kerry's diary for the day starting with a hill to open a TT sort of isn't exactly ideal... at least for me the second go around i went harder, and a bit too hard to start off the effort... although, its the up hill part... and the incline is supposed to be where ya can gain time... that wind resistance down hill is intense at 38 mph... hell poppin in and out of the Spinachi bars at 35 mph is a bit sketchy...

Got help here today, (duh idiot ya alluded to that already with the extra load in the Trailer). Okay so i started and finished reading the rest of the stuff. My daughter is playing a music 'mix tape' kinda game. over at PBSkidsgo.com in the Arthur games section called crank it up.

rather a bit insane...

but at least its creative and there's some feed back and active participation.

Shoot it wasn't obvious? SB's excuses for being slow at the Tuc wasn't appearant? Maybe my veiled ribbing was a bit to much ribbing and not enough spelling it out so he can understand...

HOLY CRAP... are those license numbers for real? My three little digits on card sure look strange... lined up to the 6 digit cards... insane man... insane

Oh and shoot - i was gonna get a web log set up for the P-velo guys... well add that to the insurmountable list today... maybe we'll have a brief lunch and there'll be some time somewhere to get it started.

Alright - And yeah... i wound up getting roses... and here's how coincidental i got...

My daughter wanted to pick the flowers, and she picked a dozen rainbow roses (12 different colors). Okay cool. She was pretty adamant about those. None of the other flower arrangements were gonna get past her. Well what she didn't realize was that yeah, its been 12 years (one rose per year)... each one different... anyway... i think it was nice. That and we wound up meeting my bro, his wife and their two kids 2.5 and 5 months old, my sister (staying with them now) my family over at Chili's for a freaking insane dinner. my youngest was having NONE of the sitting at a table, and got into a good game of rubber baby... try hanging on to 25 pounds of squirming jello...

And lastly... the hockey game. I desperately wanted the Oilers to win, but i feel alseep twice in the first period... and by the first intermission i was out like a light. Woke up to find it went to OT and that i can watch at least part of one more game. So maybe with luck the Oilers can ride the wave and down grade the Hurricanes for the summer. Winning the next two games in a row will be tough but if they can play like they did in the 1st period for the next six periods (assuming no overtime periods) they should have the cup. I've got respect for ol' brindamore but don't like him dat much... That and it'd be great to have the Cup hang out away from Hurricane Alley for the summer.

and with that... i'm gonna get take a nap (i wish)
