Remember camp? I do. I found this website, www.logcabinrustics.com , don't ask me how. But I have to say that these bunk bed frames remind me of wonderful memories at camp and at my friends beach cabin during the lovely summers in Washington state. If I am ever lucky enough to have a beach cabin, I would have to get my kids something like this. see the site: log bunk beds.

Craigslist Personals

Later, the most amusing thing, but now some back story: If you haven't been on craigslist through some miracle of sheltering, it is a basically one big community classifieds section. One popular and scandalous section is the personals casual encounters where people meet up for nookie. Most of the ads are obscene or appear to be jokes, but they are amusing nonetheless.

So the other day on my friend's birthday, he decided he would test them out, so to speak, and post an ad of his own. He mandated he wanted a young girl who attended the same college he did. He got a few spam responses, some dude, and finally one response that appeared quasi-normal. Moving along a little, they exchanged pictures and decided to meet. The two possibilities most likely were that he was either going to be jumped or arrested.... or both. To his surprise it was a real girl, and she looked like her picture. Fast forward 12 hours, 1 box of prophylactics, and a couple steaks, and my friend had the best birthday of his life. Amazing. I can not believe this stuff actually happens.

I hate greeting cards.

I hate dumb greeting cards. SURPRISE.

Best new (probably already done) idea: Fine Art Photo Greeting Cards. Their motto: Give art when you give a gift. This online store at http://www.finephotogreetingcards.com has many cool greeting cards, with actual great photographs slipped into them. Thus, when a recipient tires of their card, they can actually remove the photo and matte or frame it. Very cool. Love the photography too!

6 Months to Cycle

It is 50+ degrees. The countdown to the next snow has begun. Taking advantage of this upcoming summer is not only my goal, it will be my obscession. My goal is to ride 1000+ miles on my bike this summer, and at least a third of that in competition or during events. Easy, no, but certainly rewarding. The stack of event t-shirts alone is well worth the time and effort. If we were in belgium, i would also probably have cycling groupies on my arm, but sadly this is not the case.

To go faster, I have decided to make the following unecessary purchases.

-New Sleeker Helmet
-New Faster and Slightly Skinnier Tires
-Carbon Fiber Seat Post
-New Wheels (maaaaybe)

Wish me luck.
