I don't, but...

are you serious?

Why? Just curious. It seems like it would be hard to ride...

You might post that question in the C+V Forum...

Just another way to say "the 'burbs". Sprawl.

Tends to attract people with kids. Safer than more urban areas but less to do.

Someone talk me into going to the gym. I want to go have soup and watch a scary movie, but my blubber rubs together when I walk so I feel as if I need to work on that. But then again, I plan on going to the gym in the morning first thing, so I could take tonight off and call this week a wash as my workouts have been crap except for Tuesday.

Someone call me fat, piss me off, and maybe I'll go to the gym.

You had me up to the granola. I hate granola. It's like fried oatmeal.

Now, that sounds good. I'm going to buy pumpkin and fat free yogurt tonight and make a smoothie. I realize that isn't a Mexican thing, but it's supposed to be very good for you, lowfat/low cal and I love pumpkin...but not pumpkin pie.

Sometimes I miss Echo Park. Do you ever eat at Millies? Or go to that Cuban bakery/coffee place? The Tropical I think it was called...

I knew I could rely on you, Extorty.

Okay, I'm off to the gym. Upper body. Then lower tomorrow and spin class, unless it isn't raining in the morning, in which case, I'm going to ride.

Subtle sarcasm is difficult to convey over the internet...

There's just about anything you want in Pasadena...isn't there?
