that's great! I just got a set of Rival 165s, hoping to get them on the TT bike asap. My hip angle has been giving me fits, can't seem to get comfortable recently.

there's some truth to that. I've been going way, way low on my dairy consumption recently - had some cream cheese the other day... not worth it.

Got a little freaked out yesterday, realizing, in a way, my daughter could have been killed. (sorry to sound dramatic)
She and my son were tunneling through the snow out front while I was cleaning up the back. My wife mentioned how much fun they were having, and that my daughter was still at it while my son had gone in. About 1/2 hour later I looked out front for the first time, and realized she was digging in the mound by the street that the plows had created. If I hadn't stopped her, she might have been buried 45 min later when the plow made a second pass, and we wouldn't have known ...... Can't get that thought out of my mind.

This was just posted on my wall, by a Matawan Assemblyman friend of mine, about the bike license in NJ thing: Rog...apparently Assembly Speaker Sheila Oliver indicated this morning that the bike license bill is DOA. See link for an essay written by my friend and client Fair Haven Mayor Mike Halfacre.

Which model is it? I have a Composit which does me just fine up to 2hrs. After that I think I could use a little more width and padding.

Saddest story I have ever heard.....
Little girl is playing in the leaves next to the road and decides to hide and surprise dad when he gets home. Dad parks on leaf pile gets out of truck and hears "Daddy move, I cant breath". Little girl crushed and dead.

Hug your little ones often

that's horrible. i used to date a girl who lost her sister in a childhood accident where a large tree in their yard was uprooted during a thunderstorm. little girl was playing in the root hole unbeknownst to her father and friend who were cutting the downed tree. father cut tree trunk and the weight of the roots exceeded the tree trunk left, causing it to "stand up" in the hole. she was crushed and died. her father saw it as he jumped back from the tree when it started to "stand up" after he cut it. i cant imagine that horror.
