that makes you fully realize how lucky you are in the moment...
and if you want to maintain some sense of dignity and a dry eye... don't read the previous entry there...
focus and motivation are pretty low right now...
emails are piling up faster than I can answer them...
I just keep flagging them, replying to 1 out of ever 3 right now...
The list of need to do is getting long...
even the thought of a new to me frame arriving in a big brown truck today can't lift my spirits...

G-diddy,
Don't make me come down there and hit you over the head with one of these 100 solid maple 1" thick shelves that Brown is paying me to furnish in the four conference rooms above your basement office,
Chin up.
Race with us at Ninigret Wed night and you'll feel like a million bucks.

Don't give me those links when I'm at work man... almost had to close the door to compose myself.
And I've seen you smile during cross. Get the countdown calendar going again...
Forgive me for being such a friggin neanderthal caveman. I didn't click the links- mainly b/c I was more interested in getting you out of a funk there..
So I just now hit the links and didn't need to finish reading them to understand.. I understand completely. My dad's in the "pain management" stages of his disease.. and he's 8000 miles away from us. We're leaving May 23rd for a visit. Me: two weeks. Wife and son: 5 extra weeks to be close to him and attend to needs.. At this point we hope that we don't get there too late. Cancer sucks balls.
...saturday was my 59th b/day & i decided i needed a day in the dirt on the cross bike...all my miles lately have been road or town bike miles & not enough of those, so it was hard & rough riding but every time i felt like whining to myself, i thought of susan & fatty/eldon & also my friends sarah & spencer/sorelegs...
...thinking of those two couples kept me going, instead of bailing or taking the easy way at the junctions..."this ain't nothing compared to real pain, dude, so keep riding & keep sending out love & good thoughts to these folks" was what kept me pedaling w/ a focus...
...it only would have been a better birthday ride if i knew i could affect a positive physical change for those folks, but 'spirit' was all i had to give & i gave what i could...
