Mr. Cool

So I've got a cheapo all-in-one scanner and about a million old photos. This one is circa 1993 when I still inhaled 2 packs a day and thought I was the sh!t with my cheesy mustache. Of course I traded one addiction for another when I took up cycling after quitting the butts five years ago. I dunno, which one is worse?
Now I know I'm not the sh!t. Just getting older, and in anyone's viewpoint, less cool. Shaved legs and lycra? yeah, that's really cool alright.....

Marriage

So I understand that there are some in our little cycling/ blogging community who are considering the act of matrimoany. Ok boys, study this picture very carefully. Notice the expressions. Notice the postures and body language.

Any questions?

A few from the festivities

Brian n' da main ho (not fa sale)

Sugs n' da main ho (fa sale)

Rick n' da main ho (just ask)

Anyone care to guess?

Damn, this is what I get

We will now resume normal programming

Whew! It's over. As any of you who attended Saturday night's festivities can attest, I was a busy boy getting ready for the shindig. In the span of nine days I accomplished the following: re-drywalling the front hall; repairing the walls in the the foyer, front and back stairs and upstairs hall; installing new bedroom doors; installing new bathroom door; refinishing foyer floor; painting foyer, front and back stairs and upstairs hall; installing the 12 channel sound system as well as all the regular stuff to get ready for a party that included 145 people.

Thanks to all the fellow bloggers for the nice comments. We had an absolute blast and consider the bash a resounding success. A few stats for those of you who like them: 50+ GALLONS of beer (no WONDER I was so godawful hungover Sunday!!), 37 bottles of wine, 80 chicken breasts, 16 pounds pork roast, 20 pounds shrimp, 9 pounds smoked salmon, 6 pounds cheese, 10 boxes crackers, 6 pounds artichoke dip, 12 baguettes, and piles upon piles of veggies, dip, hot canapes etc etc.

Man, 40 is starting out good..... except maybe for the riding. If you think I haven't updated my blog in awhile, you should see my cycle log. There just hasn't been anything to add. Photos should return this week to Crossmadness. I have some good material from the party plus soccer started this week for Sam and Maddie and I've got a new long lens to put to work.

Yeah, I know I'm not supposed to be writing on this blog but sometimes I've gotta break the rules. I can do that. It's my POS blog after all.
