back...

double meaning... yes- i'm back... two my back is KILLING ME

time off the bike? Sleeping on it funny? yeah - maybe even moving heavy awkward shit contributed to it too.

Got in a nice hour on the mantra yesterday - checking the condition of the path...
got in 15 minutes on the trainer saturday just to see how i was doing and to not totally let it all slide due to the flu...

musta been the flu - i was crazy feverish thursday night... it broke sometime during the night and by saturday afternoon i was feeling some what more normal... sunday mostly all better...

the ride in in the cold and the sunday mt ride both helped one with back feeling better the other with sinuses...

kinda funny - i've been depending and relying on the cold weather in the morning to help blow the crap outa my sinuses... w/o it i was wicked stuffed up... today... breathing normally... back feels much better after riding...

although today its the opposite muscle from the one that's been buggin me the last few days and well i dunno how to explain that - other than it just hurts like a sob...

the new office is okay - stuff didn't get too misplaced... a bit of work still to make it all perfect...

c'est la vie...

I came across a book in my office - and thought about Christine Varadros in here new french squad - always bitching about the french section of belgium...

Le Nouveau Besscherelle
L'Art De Conjuguer
Dictionnaire Des 8000 verbes

granted its published in 1966 and the one French who are still wrapped up about it can be found sitting in a cafe in paris... the old men - arguing about a language that most narrow minding bigotesque US americans say should be ignored along with the whole country.

Me? I like france. I like the language, i like the country... nearly as much of a francophone as you can be in a passive sense...

In general i have yet to walk into a wine shop and buy a french table wine that wasn't worth drinking... why is it? Amuricans go in and want some cab or pinot or shiraz or some straight varietal junk because they think that's what they are supposed to do? Not that there aren't great single varietal wines in france... but the table wines are great... anyway...

There is no hope of catching up on the linkage and what all has been going on...

but Gwadzilla's HR 807 is a great reminder:

please click over there to make sure our legislators support this act!

well...

i'm going to crawl back into my pain cave from back pain... stretching hopefully will help...

peace - respect and bring on the King of Burlingame...
