Lucky Number 287

Crossed Up

I rode in my first cyclocross race yesterday in Chicago. My goals were to not be in last place and to not cause a wreck. Regarding these it was successful, however I have three blisters on my left hand and two on my right and overall it kind of kicked my ass. I'll post pictures soon.

I Should, but...

I should download the photos off my camera and post some here, but I don't want to go hunting for the cable.

I should tell you about riding the big wheeled bike. It was scary and fun, but words fail me.

I should write about what I've been cooking, but it's not all that interesting.*

I'm getting close to being done with my French bike, but there's still so much more to do.**

I got stung by a hornet this week, but I doctored it with baking soda and it went away quick.

I went out for drinks with some work colleagues and while we were talking about the local characters we saw one head into the bar across the street (she was in drag).

I should make my portfolio website, but I'd have to have some work to put in it.

And on and on.




*The homemade pizza with cornmeal in the crust to make it crunchy was excellent.

**Okay, okay, I'll bore you with this one. I've been painting her this past week. A dual color metallic blue. Even though it's spray paint it looks pretty fantastic (I did have help, though, since I've been labeled as a horrible spray painter). I ordered the French threaded bottom bracket and got it today with a chrome chain guard, so now I have everything except the brake levers.
