This is really actually a fun project I've gotten myself into. I've kind of decided the format and how to put it out in series/sections/vignettes...It should be fun and interesting. When I'm done I'll figure an approach for compiling and publishing...It should make for some good reference material.

You can go to my blog (link at bottom of page) to check progress. My interpretation and observations will be the lead in...this project could take months. In the meantime I'll put up some solo stories. I hope you have fun reading...
When I was a kid I always loved reading the back of cereal box's and album covers...so that's the entertainment level I'm trying to put out. "Literary snacks" to enjoy with your tea and coffee!:love:

Tease:

“It just doesn’t get any better than this”…was the thought I had in my mind as I sat just behind these powerful draft horses pulling me along at such an incredible speed. I found myself so comfortable within this whirling vortex; a mere few inches from certain catastrophe should anyone of these Equine human hybrids make the smallest miscommunication with the other.

BTW: Still waiting for responses for most of you tandem teams...here is the info I seek
Take your time and think it out, so you'll be happy in the end and have something nice for the grand kids!

Tandem Blog

Would you mind sending me a picture of you guys on your Tandem, that you really like. and answer a couple of questions if you don't mind.
I'm doing a bloggy on all the tandem couples. Just a little feature cause you're all such cool people...and it's intersting

1. How long together riding a tandem?
2. Type/brand of Tandem
3. Most difficult to date, ride together Physical/Mental/emotional (little story?)
4. Relationship improved?
5. Would you ever want to change places ie. Stoker to Captain or reverse?
6. Finally: What made you decide to purchase a tandem?

either pm me or...taxi777@pacbell.net

We sent in our response and note that Pete has our pic up on the blog already.:thumb:

Pete: Something you may want to consider is asking why people purchased a tandem. I am sure there are a many reasons and some of them may be very interesting.

Working on it... Gotta get my ballot off though. Reading through and analyzing the ridiculous number of measures this year is tough.

ha ha ...I don't have to do that! Cathy just picks it all and tells me what to vote for! She's a little nicer than me...Politically speaking, other wise we would be canceling out each others votes on some measures...I'd rather live in a world full of her types than me....:twitchy:
