Yeah, forgot those little nuggets.

Just got a text -- "Ride tomorrow at 7AM? About 70 miles..."

My response -- "Wife going to gym at 9 then shopping. Gotta take the kids to a B Day party at 1. May be able to ride around 3."

He's not even talking about tennis. He's talking about golf.

US Open tennis isn't until late August. I know this because I like sports, and tennis is an actual sport.

Golf is a nice enough pastime. I play with my mom a couple of times a year. Good to keep the little old ladies out in the fresh air and off the public roads. I figure I'll take it up more seriously when I get too old to do anything strenuous. Plus, you can wear crazy ugly hats.



Looks good on you!

Though I originally posted this to the Pro forum, there doesn't seem to be much traffic there. Could y'all weigh in on this question?

Her face is really weird looking. Might be all the pshop they did to it though.

I know and have dated far more attractive women than her.

Danica is smokin'. If you hooked her in a sprint she'd right hook you in the chops.
