Specialized Tarmac is only good for about 30,000 miles therefore Gary desperately needs a new bike (preferably somethiing w/ zipp wheels and SRAM red components)
Scott got cornered in the cougar den and was a real good sport about it
Lisa is a great gal who just happens to have really poor taste in football teams. Her many other admirable qualities far outshine this single shortcoming.
Go Baltimore!
Stumps, we missed you!
Hey Everyone,
really wanted to come but weather took toll on pipes in house. Went out to get stuff (food, junk), kids for monster truck, and to get out to the get together. Got home around 5, and found I had new pool at home: in basement. Pipes broke in extreme corner of basement, right out of water meter. Had to wade to meter, turn off water. Get water out of house, pacify kids who wanted to hang me in mutiny, go out and purchase copper pipe, propane (ran out fixing relatives leaks), dry out furnace, water heater, humidifier, and restart all of them. Did not do monster truck: on sons and daughters hit list, Guido may have been contacted over weekend. Finished around 3 am. House still damp, and cold. Had to stay at brothers house. Sleeping with one eye open. Kids evil eyeing me still.
Glad, however, you all had fun. Someone had to. Hopefully you'll do this again soon. This time, I won't agree to anything, I'll just show up. That way Murphy won't get heads up...and do me!
