this guy took forever to buy candy

i had to wait behind this dude for five minutes before paying for my gas...

Easter Memorial at Lauras' Place

We didn't feel too into Easter today. Perhaps if the Lord were to resurrect Laura it would have been much nicer.
We nonetheless have blessings to count and friends to be grateful. It was a nice day to visit Laura's Memorial with Erin, Sharon, Ruth and whats-his-face (Kirill). Cooper was nice enough to come along also.
Afterwards we had a nice dinner at the Gresses. God Bless 'em!
God Bless Us anyway...

Axis of Evil

Dear God... Let's pray for change!

(I'm usually pretty apolitical... and very independent... but these guys have done us some serious wrong...)

Back to mindless irreverence...

I Believe

This was a picture from my bike trip. I thought I was alone.

Washington Crossing the Delaware with Popeye

Washington and Popeye were close.
Popeye was very instrumental in helping America gain its independence.

Milton ... Mud River ... Ona Loop

Check out the look of determination on this dude! Also, check out the ghetto-mod helmet glasses suspensory accessory.

I had two good riding days this weekend. Approx 55 cold miles today and 40+ warmer but rainy miles yesterday. I'm trying to get some miles in before my first ever 200K brevet in Columbus in two weeks.

In the background you can see my trusty old Trek. I'm stuck with it as my main ride since my Canondale has a busted derailier and hanger. I've been riding the Trek for 22 years now. I bought it in 1986 in Philly after a dude in a van ran over my brand new Univega over spring break... (pardon the run-on).
These events ultimately helped me snag Ruth... (too complicated to succinctly explain today)...
Anyway... A good weekend...
Love to all!

Laura Memorial

It was dark when i completed the monument for Laura. I need to mark the path to get there. There is also a geocache at the site. I haven't registered the location yet.

and i'm not referring to his digestive prowess...

sun march 2nd: a perfect day for biking. chris gress and i biked 60 miles (winfield_pt pleasant and back). i felt pretty good for my first long ride of the year. the return ride was against a steady headwind... chris cut it like a jimmy dean sausage...
