Catching up

Night Prowler

Got in a few solid hill circuits around Richmond Beach last night with some of the team. A couple sketchy areas on the descents due to forst and left over gravel. All in all, a fun 2 hours. The body is feeling good today considering my complete lack of any saddle time.

Look Who's Coming to Dinner

Looks like the New Mexico crew, due to climate, great riding, and a great cycling scene, has scored quite well and is hosting the training camps for Team Lipton, Navigators, and the Belgian Cycling Center (International Cycling Development Team). The community looks to have the teams set up quite well with local resaurants donating meals and as well as allowing the common man to ride with the teams on two group rides.

They'll Pass You By...

I had a friend was a big baseball player

back in high school
He could throw that speedball by you
Make you look like a fool boy
Saw him the other night at this roadside bar
I was walking in, he was walking out
We went back inside sat down had a few drinks
but all he kept talking about was


Glory days well they'll pass you by
Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye
Glory days, glory days


Well there's a girl that lives up the block
back in school she could turn all the boy's heads
Sometimes on a Friday I'll stop by
and have a few drinks after she put her kids to bed
Her and her husband Bobby well they split up
I guess it's two years gone by now
We just sit around talking about the old times,
she says when she feels like crying
she starts laughing thinking about


Glory days well they'll pass you by

Glory days in the wink of a young girl's eye

Glory days, glory days

My old man worked 20 years on the line
and they let him go
Now everywhere he goes out looking for work
they just tell him that he's too old
I was 9 nine years old and he was working at theMetuchen Ford plant assembly line
Now he just sits on a stool down at the Legion hall
but I can tell what's on his mind
Glory days yeah goin back
Glory days aw he ain't never had
Glory days, glory days
Now I think I'm going down to the well tonight
and I'm going to drink till I get my fill
And I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
but I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back trying to recapture
a little of the glory of, well time slips away
and leaves you with nothing mister but
boring stories of glory days

Return from Sabbatical

What a month. 3 Storms, 2 Monsoon Seahawk games, 2 extended power outages, numerous holiday happenings, capped off with 10 days of visiting in-laws. It is a miracle I am still alive.

Promises of keeping this thing updated in 2007.
