B the Bike

Today has been a mixed bag of upsets and successes. At approximately 2:30pm this afternoon it hit me like a ton of bricks and I instantly knew – my bike would not be ready on time. I called Mark at Tri City Bicycles already knowing what news I would receive.
“Hey hambone.” I said.
“Hambone one to hambone two what up?” came Mark’s reply.
“Dude, can I still pick up my bike today after work?”
Well you probably know the rest. In true bike shop dude fashion Mark told me that my wheels would be held captive for another day. I’ll definately be able to pick up my bike tomorrow, I hope. Son of a B*TCH!
Now that I’ve vented let me share some awesome news. On February 8 I’m flying down to North Carolina for the weekend to spend time with Kelly [literary note: Kelly's first mention by name 1/22/08]. Sa Weet! I’ll be cycling hard towards that wonderful weekend of bliss.
I also sold my first item on Craigslist today. My HD TV is now gone. I’ve made the move. I’m now television free for the first time in my life. Truthfully, I like it. I actually haven’t had the TV on in several days and I’m much more satisfied with life. Everyone should be free of TV at least once in their life.
So I’ve lost four precious days in the saddle. I will again work my core muscles tonight and pray that tomorrow lends itself better to turning wheels.
I was a vegetarian today.
I’m wheeling on. Latah!
