I wish I had a way to properly express my feelings about having to go in for 11 days straight without receiving a life sentence.
Last day of work before DH/Trail weekend.
Trying to find coverage for kids/dogs sunday so I don't have to rush home when wife heads to NYC for funeral.
She insisted I not cancel the trip, a good woman that one.
While drowning this weeks sorrows with mai-tais last night we had a heart-breaking, random interaction with some syrian refugees.
A man and his 9yo son walked in the restaurant with what turned out to be an aid-worker.
The boy had no arms and was in town for treatment at Mass General.
He was injured in a cluster bomb attack that also killed his 3 siblings.
The sorrow in his fathers eyes was profound but they both had such kind smiles while we tried to communicate with them.
The boy was excited to see his best friend who was coming into town today.
He showed us a picture of them both, pre bombing, playing.
His friend lost both legs and his entire family in the same attack.
Needless to say, life is in perspective this morning.

HELLO FFS! Waiting anxiously for the bike shop to tell me my new tri bike is ready for pickup. Hoping I can pick it up Saturday. werd
Got an 11 mile run to tackle after work.

Going to be a long day, 9 hours of driving the short bus followed by a two hour drive to Sacramento to meet up with the wife at the Dressage Cahampionships and watch her compete for the next 3 days. Moar coffee
I thank Dan-O for his post. I also wish him well in his trials.
Also, happy trails this weekend....

Lower back has officially melted, signaling an official (and decidedly painful) arrival to late-middle age. If anyone has a couple syringes full of cortisone, please PM me. Will trade bike, child, wife, dog...whatever, just name your price.
And tramadol is such a disappointment. Despite the persistent warnings on the bottle, maybe it does actually work better with alcohol.
But hey, I managed to make it onto and off of the poop bowl without assistance this morning, so all is not lost.

As Ron White says....... "If you only sleep with your wife, you never get caught".

Public defecation is only a misdemeanor. Time to start cultivating a 100 couric fudge dragon!

I have been feeling like my life has been shit lately, and it has been. But damn, there are really some people in the world who have it way worse.
I just need some perspective I guess.

There are many spots on 395 I would live.
Where ya headed?
Heckled peeps at the cyclocross race last night then went for beers with some friends. Just another night in paradise. I'm working on some seriously confusing stuff today. Makes my head hurt. Pension calculations....blah blah blah.
Lower back pain is the suck.
I am in total agreeance on this subject. SUCK.
say hi to the minor herniation in my L4/5 disc
Just let the phone ring.
Is Ridemonkey getting in any fresh blood these days? Based on all the old folk talk this place is gentrifying faster than the GOP.
time to bail on doing curator-esque things and go for a damn ride. can't deny this fall weather.
Maybe if we offer a "vintage" appearance filter and limit posts to 140 characters or less we'll attract some teenagers and millenniels...We may also need a fixie forum as well.
Yeah, I think a Valencia filter would add a faux retro feel for the hipsters, and allow JBP to wax nostalgically about dating flappers and sneaking wood grain hooch into silent movies. On the downside, Stevew's eyes may melt.
And rather than making RM bike jerseys, maybe we could make RM labeled girls jeans (ideal for lounging at the local coffee shop in the middle of the day) and recycle bearing races for ear gages.
EDIT - I hereby strongly advocate *thoroughly* washing one's hands after slathering your back with Aspercream before you take a piss. #invigorating

Welcome!I dunno about "fresh blood," but I'm definitely new around here.
Does your back hurt too? If so you'll fit right in with the rest of the crew. #oldandcreaky #iwearmysepiaglassesatnight
South America was a dark time for this forum.
Thanks.
My back is okay, but my neck is incredibly stiff and painful right now as a result of a spectacular OTB/scorpion crash over the weekend. First major crash in quite some time, but it was a doozy.
I brought my boobs. What now?
