I have a few fairly big tasks due by Friday. Just need to motivate myself to do so. It's so hard when I just want to ride or work out.

A friend of mine in high school was a two-time state high hurdles champ (400m, I think). His middle name - Running.

My middle name doesn't rhyme with or resemble much of anything.

Last night's cycling activities were thwarted by a loosening tube stem. Oh, the humanity.

Does that mean you're in Atlanta, or do they have them everywhere?

It's 12:10 EST, time to set myself in front of the tv for essentially the next 3 weeks.

The wife has been warned - do not F' with me about anything except fire, floods or tornadoes. Honey-do list be damned!

I might peek in here on occasion just to talk some smack from time to time.

Adios.

Hey rjones,

How did La Salle manage to start a university whilst he was exploring the Mississippi? That's impressive.

Then why are they called the Explorers? :facepalm:

The other La Salle is more famous. I have been to a fort he helped establish.
