I almost got knocked off by the crosswind 3 times on the way to the park. I think this meets the "stupid things to do" quota for 2010.

great show, enjoy. The season finale is this Sunday so you have some catching up to do.

I watch Boomerang while on the trainer. Usually The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Pink Panther (Or Yogi Bear).
And listen to music. It's early in the AM so I keep the TV volume down.

as dumb as it was trying to ride this morning, I did find it somewhat entertaining trying to keep my balance when the crosswinds started gusting.

One of the things I'm most looking forward to about living on my own is the ability to ride the rollers/trainer whenever I feel like it, with the TV blasting, instead of at negotiated times with the sound down and captions on.
