'morning stosh. Not much to report here.

My girlfriend bought a pair of shoes online, with the brand name "Naughty Monkey". I wonder if RM has been dabbling in shoe design? :think:

"We"?

Speak for yourself, buddy, I don't want to be associated with that ugly, disease-ridden skank.

don't go to Gun Powder state park.

There is one popular place down there but all I remember hearing is on the weekends it's always crazy packed.

Mornin....

Clouds spit on us all day yesterday, so it was kind of a relaxing day at home after work. Chilled on the couch for awhile until one of my buddies called and wanted to meet for some wings and beer. Watched the NBA draft until all the Carolina players were gone and went home, goofed on the X-box for a bit and hit the bed.

Me and the missus are going to go see Dave Matthews this evening at Alltell Pavillion. Haven't seen DMB in many years---since the early 90's when he was still on the collegiate circut and playing tiny clubs around Va and NC. Used to see them about two to three times a month back then. Same goes for Hootie and the Blowfish---remember those guys? ....Used to see them at frat parties, for gods sake. Now....I think frat parties are the only gigs they can get :p (sorry, Darius.... your Burger King commercial rocked, though).

I went to several DMB concerts mid/late 90's. That was when he was still writing decent music, though. Almost everything since Before These Crowded Streets has (in my most humble opinion, of course) been utter garbage, and BTCS had a few sketchy tracks on it as well.

Have you heard Some Devil? Even the bonus CD with Tim on it couldn't save that piece of trash.

Hopefully he plays some older stuff at your concert :D

Man.....you know it's gonna be that syrupy crap he's been releasing the past for years that they're bound play. Yeah.....I'm with you on that call. The only one I really, really liked was the live "Remember Two Things" CD--the first one they put out, I believe. My roommate at ECU was from Mechanicsville, Va. and was really into them in early '91. He had a lot of bootlegs that we listened to---back when they weren't afraid to take a jam on out there for 8 minutes or so. You get to making albums, and your song focus gets more and more compact....pretty soon, you're forgetting that raw element of the improvisational jam that got you to where you are.

But hey.....as long as we're selling to millions of teenie girls, what does it matter, right? :stosh:



(man.....just went on a rant there, didn't I? )

Morning! Last night was glorious - I went for a road ride and the knee felt semi-good!!!!!!!!! I went down into Southern Bend where the older houses on huge plots of land are. I'd never been down there and it was nice.

Good to hear you are on the bike! I had the ol' scraperoo about 2 years ago. When I woke up after the surgery, first thing I did was asked the Doc how soon I could ride again. I think I rode about 4 days afterwards. I have an OCD or osteochondral defect which means that the cartiledge (sp?) is worn through to the bone on the back of my knee cap. It will never get better. It smarts every once and a while, but it doesn't bug me too much. No more drops to flat or jogging. But everything else is all good.

Damn right. One of the concerts I went to, Santana opened for them. Halfway through the DMB concert, Santana and Bela Fleck came out on stage and they all jammed for a solid 10+ minutes. It was awesome. Boyd Tinsley is the man, too.

Morning all! Weather is really weird here. I went out early and it was gray and miserable, came in when I got hit by a couple of sprinkles...good thing because the skies opened up and it was raining HARD. Now, it's sunny and beautiful :think:

Had a nice ride last night on our local trails with a group of friends. They definately don't push my speed so my heart rate was great. I frustrated Jenn because she's been training hard and was struggling with some of the climbs and I powered right up one that she had just failed on :eek: Not sure where I got the energy, but it felt good. Luckily, the short steep climbs at the Stables are nothing compared to Dalton. I was really hungry and tired afterward so my awesome hubby drew me a bath to relax in while he made dinner (sure it was pizza, but I didn't have to cook it or clean up) :thumb:

Today I am reading up on pregnancy materials that I put off until after the race and relaxing.

Glad your sickness waited until after Dalton, Splat!
IAB remeber I was complaining of the abdominal pain just before one of my laps ? well it appears realated to that. at first they thought it was my appendix , but ruled it out because I had the pain a while and my white count is not up. so they think it is diticulitus (sp ? ) an infection in my intestine. and they have not ruled out lyme diesease yet. and a Kidney stone, and uniranry tract infection were ruled out too. so Right now I'm on ciprio.

Diverticulitis? That can be a nasty recurring deal. I hope you don't have to deal with that.

Have they checked gall bladder or wrong part of the abdomen for such pain?
