Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I don't consider coffee and pie official acts, like breathing.

Yes but you have two small children. I doubt you'd get a chance to sleep in if you did stay up really late and partied hard.

I got all dressed up and made up and glittery but the person who was supposed to pick me up to go to the senior center became confused and didn't and everyone else was apparently too busy to so my fake fur vest and I stayed home. LoP and I were up until after midnight watching a movie on Netflix which received only two stars and wasn't making sense even before I slept through part of it. (I was asking him about it this morning and it still doesn't and I'm not sure if I care enough to rewatch it.)

Also, I forgot to say "rabbit rabbit" when I woke up this morning.

You are better than silly stuff like that. I had to look it up. Never heard of that.

If Kubiak retires, what are the chances Kelly goes to the Broncos if he gets fired by the Niners?

I bought my wife a toaster that besides toast, cooks bagels, muffins, hard boils or poaches or cooks eggs soft, medium or hard.

It was a belated Christmas present. She thought my daughter in law was buying her one but didn't so I ordered her one quick off of Amazon.

Thing works great.
