still wasted but the light is on at the end of the tunnel - brains say one more day of healing; legs says, "riderideriderideride" :)

And send some love to Aunt Lily (@ezmerrill) & Uncle Zinger: married seven years today - two very happy people

back at my desk - hope y'all have a great one - send some love to The Bride (@strdncr5) who's starting a new .5 job today

Early bed tonight - please be kind to each other and yourself - good night

Blog Post: Stupid Flu http://ping.fm/Cgw4P

the daily yuck rpt for the 2 of you that care: still sick - looking like a flu thing - had a relapse & no energy & no bike today

Blog Post: Sick Leave (and various mutterings) http://ping.fm/lorCf

on sick leave again...can y'all cause a ruckus or something? i'm bored

congrats to The Bride (@strdncr5) for surviving summer school - 12 3-hour classes in three weeks - amazing!

being sick sucks - stupid cold (maybe flu) - dunno if i got the mojo to go to work tomorrow

storm clouds building up again (yay!) - let's cool off this desert so we can par-tay

It's hilarious that after hitting my goal yesterday, i dreamt about changing a bike tire. Twice. (more info: http://ping.fm/oiLTD)

<---- the Great Oz has come out from behind the curtain (yes, that picture is really me)

back in the office after a week off...looks like everything is where it should be...let the chaos begin (after caffeine)

Blog Post: Helmet http://ping.fm/yobk4

that's 27 biking miles today, kids...30 miles to 300 for July

after 16 miles of mediocre biking, i'm ready for shower & homework - TG for diet coke (just because)

decided that in a world full of escargot in a heavy butter & garlic sauce, i am a royale with cheese (#pulpfiction)

Back safe in the home 'hood; hope y'all are having a good day

rode the bike & fell (no damage), caught a great A's game, ate a delicious dinner, & geocached - i have an awesome aunt & uncle

packing for the three-day in the bay area; four hour drive; good company waiting; will miss my wife & girlfriend (same person)

Blog Post: Everyone Has One http://ping.fm/mxC8q

it may take me an hour to bike climb Lakeview Hill but 40+ mph down 395 into carson: priceless

Blog post: Loud Brakes http://ping.fm/HqLIT

back fm the longest 24-miler; hwy 50, deer run road, carson river, edmonds to topsy; this one was hard work; wasted

btw, 72 minutes to go until vacation starts - saying buh-bye to work for nine days...you may hate me

Blog Post: Inspiration http://ping.fm/ueG5K

what do you think? good idea or overkill? http://ping.fm/XWnJT

up waaay to early; need to find a shower, pancakes and caffeine...not in that order

rly nice out for mid-July in NW NV; did eleven miles after work without (almost) breaking a sweat

Blog Post: 37 Rides in 37 Days http://ping.fm/MhxlK

whined about being too tried, achy, grouchy to ride (& windy); that lasted until about 6:30; 7.6+ miles later...me feel better (doh)

big biking day: two rides, 26.72 miles + 1378 calories; almost too tired to get into trouble now

RT @tfln (920): dude on moped wearing crocs...somebody get this guy his man card back

as promised, up at 0530 to do a quick 7-miler; sucking down the caffeine now & feeling a nice buzz

feeling guilty for taking the day off fm biking so crashing early & up at 0530 for a pre-work dash - that'll teach me

diet crashed due to bad decisions w bad sleeps & bad eating - back in the saddle today #mylifemyresponsibility

absent fm the office for 4 days, trying to find that "job mojo" (did i ever have any?).

Carson City spent some pesos; easily a 30 minute fireworks show; very nice

could this be why sarah resigned? http://ping.fm/HKPhm

happy, happy birthday to trina!!!! (@rahnekat)

good news: dropping weight thru biking; bad news: my chess game is in the crapper; does exercise make you dumber?

Blog: How I Spent My Furlough Day http://ping.fm/mbhCU

hitting the road, folks; pix upon return; try to behave...

final June exercise stats: 15K calories, 255 miles biked or walked (+40 miles over May) - 300 miles in July possible?

tentative plan for first furlough day (7/2): bowers mansion & franktown road ride; why, you ask? lots of shade

Blog post: Gates of Hell and Back http://ping.fm/ZjBcM (there's pictures!)

gonna hit some pancakes & the road - maybe get some pix :) (bye)

Blog Post: Stupid On Wheels http://ping.fm/KcEJw

today's exercise plan: none. 53+ miles in five days means it's time to take a break (good morning, everyone!)

just so you know, I’ve no plans to go to Appalachia or Argentina #charactermatters #gopimplosion

condolences to the family, friends, & fans of Brigadier General Edward McMahon, CA ANG

whoda thunk that i'd ever reach a point where an 8-miler is "a quick workout"? not bob da blob here http://ping.fm/Bc4n9

interesting opinion piece on President Obama's background http://ping.fm/cr3QF

laying in bed & about to fall asleep then remembered i hadn't finished a assignment due today...

thanks for all the FD's greetings, you kind peeps - and a great one to all your dads, too! (off to do homework now...)

Blog post: another 22 miles in log book http://ping.fm/VyHWf (comments welcome)

good morning, folks - off to find pancakes then a tall hill for two wheels - be good to each other...

boomer fitness news of the day: at 0600 this morning, i weighed the same as i did when i left the USAF...in 1991. thank you, bicycling!

obligatory shout-out to y'all - have a great constructive day :)

*fast* solo 10-miler on the Kona Dew Drop, then a relaxing 4-miler w The Bride (her on the Huffy; me on MT bike); two very nice rides

seriously dragging even after caffeine and protein - is there such a thing as 'starbucks in a i.v. drip?'

back on my A game - ready to get back to work & back to the road - cabin fever: get it! ;)

on sick leave & slept all morning - feel a gazillion times better

Could the upcoming Tour de France be fixed so a French rider finally wins??? *Probably* not but this is funny: http://ping.fm/PuZAc

After a good weekend, time to hunker down and give The Man his pound of flesh - good to have a job to come to, sometimes...

did a bunch of homework & a lazy nine mile around town - good weekend

Short Blog Post: Last Night's Aceball http://ping.fm/iU8Cx

got a 10-miler done - rest of day: homework (l4d), ride to lunch, more homework (& l4d), baseball

Rly overcast here but weather.com says everything will clear out by 7:00 PM gametime - go Aces!

Having set my FB userid, I am outta here - g nite y'all

have a craving for juicy delicious apples - silly diet - could eat them all night long...

Blog post: need a note for your teacher? http://ping.fm/B4sge

good morning, folks - carpe diem time - have a great day

cell phone problem solved: @strdncr5 the genius remembered we have an old stand-by we can use - my current number is still good :)

phone call to at&t went exactly as expected - no options other than buying a $300 iPhone - not feeling the love...

if you have my cell, take note: cell phone won't power on - long phone call to at&t tomorrow probably won't end well, either

fuzzy from yesterday's ride - if there's biking today, it'll be on flat ground & high gears

back in the office after a 4-day weekend...what's my password? uh oh

2nd ride done - that's 23 miles & 1400 calories for the day - I could get used to this

Back from a 16-miler; turned out to be a beautiful spring day - time for homework now

big plans on this beautiful day: homework, bike ride, homework, bike ride - that's how i roll

Kash the Kona' debut is delayed due to 1. rainstorm 2. @strdncr5 asleep in staging area; race officials remain optimistic but red flag is up

UP: saddest movie in history - lady next to me bawled from beginning to end...& she started the waterworks at the disney/pixar logos

my love & appreciation to The Bride (@strdncr5) for the best 27 years in the history of history - happy anniversary!

At Harveys Lake Tahoe w a beautiful view of the parking garage & the maintenance dud trying to fix the TV - not going well :)

TGIF, kids! @strdncr5 & i took Thur/Fri off to celebrate the anniversary on Friday - behave yourselves b/c we won't ;)
