I got a gravel bike recently. It's a blast! I'm having a lot of fun on route combinations that I would never do on any of my other bikes. It handles non-technical singletrack really well, and climbs faster than my MTB (as long as the grades don't get too steep for too long). On the road, it's efficient enough not to feel like I'm pushing a pig.

Quite frankly, beating Michigan was probably a fluke. TCU choked in the Big 12 with an embarassing loss to K-State, almost gave Michigan the game after losing a huge lead, and then choked again last night from the start.
When the score hit 10-0, I told my wife the game was over. She about took my head off.
The undefeated season was nice, but the schedule was not that strong.

I’m also a recent TCU hoops fan - primarily due to Jamie Dixon
maybe they can make some noise ...

On the phone with AA for a half-hour trying to pay for a ticket. Not to ***** or complain, but to pay. Pulling my hair out.

Okay. Yeah, 'We need the rain', but this is just getting tiresome.

A fantastic ride today in fantastic weather conditions. Late Dec./early Jan. weather is to die for. In the brutal heat of summer, we can't believe these days will ever come around again. But they always do. And are gone far too quickly.

Everybody needs a break from this place now and then. Tell him he's missed.

The other day, Mrs. GeneJockey was concerned she might have taken 2 of one medication instead of 1 each of her two medications, so I had to reassure her. One of the symptoms of an OD was tachycardia, so I checked her pulse. 80bpm. I had to look it up - 80 bpm is smack dab in the middle of "normal" for a woman in her 60s. It seemed so high to me!
