This Nook is pretty sweet. With a Kindle, you can't check out eBooks from local libraries. I mean, I've never been a big library person because it's an extra trip. I'd buy books and they get shipped to my house. I was never too worried about the dollars. But with the eBooks, I have online access to library books and I can check them out instantly and put them on the Nook. Some using the free library is easy and convienent. And in DC, I can get not only the DC library but also all of the libraries in the entire DC metro area...arlington, montgomery county, etc. That's still not everything, but probably 80% of the books I'd like to read. Awesome.

Maybe it's just me...

Anyway tell your wife we are not internet friends, you just want to see what the cycling scene is like in beautiful chester county, PA....it looks like ride temps for wednesday may even be slightly above freezing, quite the bonus.
I am hoping for hills. I need practice as my side of the river doesn't allow for much.

VV needs to find a girl pronto.

My funny gift present was a frying pan for my gf's birthday (my first with her about 6 weeks into dating) with 4 boxes of pancakes. I thought it was very sweet, it was rarely used but often talked about.

I didn't know there was a first time. I think a solution was discovered and your expertise can be saved for a later date.

When I was a summer camp counselor there was one kid who would always yell this at me. It was infuriating
