Some Things

THING #1:
Yesterday was my women's only ride with the cycling club. It was raining off and on all day. I thought that they might cancel, so I checked my email. Nothing.

So, I drove to the meet up spot and noone was there. They must have cancelled and I just didn't see the notice.

Sigh. Since I was already there, I went a little tiny ride by myself.

I-90 crosses over Lake Washington into Seattle. On the bridge over the lake is a bike path. I'm not kiddin' you. There are trails all over the freakin' place here. They go everywhere. Huzbend said it was a cool ride, so I went for it.

To the right of me was a guy water skiing and to the left of me (behind concrete barriers) were cars driving past at 60 to 70 mph.

Freaky deaky.

I happened to check my email this morning. The "RIDE CANCELLED" email was sent out at about three in the afternoon, but it didn't hit my inbox until one frickin' AM.

THING #2:
In case you didn't know, the Tour De France is back in full swing. It's another good race with a lot of contenders. Check it out if you get the chance.

Now that I actually ride a bike every once and while, I have determined that the professional riders are superhuman.

No. Scratch that.

Make it IN-human.

Let me put it this way: They can maintain a steady pace for over an hour while climbing one of the steepest mountain passes in the Alps. They even have energy left over to attack each other with short bursts of speed while going uphill.

Meanwhile, I get out of breath going up my driveway.

THING #3:
Dean Martin has the sexiest singing voice ever.

I was listening to one of his songs as I was stuck in traffic on the way to my cancelled ride yesterday.

Man, can that guy croon.

THING #4:
You can learn a lot about a person from the songs on their IPod.

For example, here are some notable selections from my song list:

Dean Martin "Ain't That A Kick In The Head"
Marilyn Manson "The Beautiful People"
Starland Vocal Band "Afternoon Delight"
Monty Python "Always Look On The Bright Side of Life"
Tina Turner "You Better Be Good to Me"
Disney's "Main Street Electrical Parade"
Nine Inch Nails "Head Like A Hole"
Meco "Star Wars Theme/Cantina Band (Disco Mix)"
Weird Al Yankovic "Dare To Be Stupid"
The Captain and Tennille "Love Will Keep Us Together"
Right Said Fred "I'm Too Sexy"

Ahhhhhhhhh. That just about sums me up.

There's really nothing else you need to know.
