Hello brother Clydes and sister Athenas

Tom told me I needed to drag my sorry arse in here and say "hi" because some worried I fell off the planet. Obviously, I'm paraphrasing, I think he used harsher language.

Hello everybody!

I'm still alive, still kicking, still pedaling (though have slowed lately...but I'll get it back in gear soon - pun not intended)!

KT, thank you for drawing attention away from the fact that i didn't update my spinner miles for January, February, March and April until last night.

(Tom -- I did it last night). Will hit 500 for the year this week, which is ahead of where I thought I'd be

Yeah, really.

Hey, maybe we can make KT join us in the Daffodil Classic? The 40 mile romp, not the 60 miler or the century.

Hmm?

I already invited him, but he's not much of a 'club ride' person.

Yes, I know it was your fault. I wasn't going to mention that specifically though.

I think I'm abandoning Foo, but I'll still be around other forums if I feel the need. I just haven't felt much need lately. I'm doing well with weaning my internet time (something that has been LONG overdue).

BTW....love the new Raven's Brew avatar.

It's about time!!!!

Anyone who is in every forum every day should sport the blue!!!

Every time I venture into another forum just to see what's there, I can always find East Hill.

I imagine she must be the only person who posts regularly in this forum that rides a bike as small as hers.

I challenge anyone to try to regularly respond in the introduction forum before East Hill! It won't happen.
