anybody got oprah's cell number ??



i'm not all that large a dude, but in the pic above i weighed close to 30 ell-bee's less than i do right now. evidently, the green-writing commentator finds the look less than ideal. i thought the wood-soled shoes with nailed-on cleats woulda counted for something, but not with a 15 y/o.

anyway, since life is kinda gettin in the way and lately the trainin' isn't goin so good, a guy can always go for the other side of the Kg-to-watt ratio, and drop a few. naturally, one would be wise to keep in mind the notion that you still need to be able to generate a watt or two by means of possession of some semblance of musculature - a point which i appear to have not fully grasped back in the day.

to that end, i am still locked in a nearly year-long weight loss battle with a certain cheese-and-bike-and-free-season-o-racing-winning individual. first guy to lose a "stone" wins a smoothie from the muddy cup. place your bets now !!

Questions abound:

1) What is that on your head?
2) Is that the Cannondale you raced at Washington Park?
3) Are the cleats TA Anqutiel models by chance?
4) When did you stop being a skinny hippie kid and become a skinny hipster?
5) Does passing a kidney stone count in the contest?

The quantity of 1 stone has gotten a bit heavier on my part. Now where is my lunch of assorted flavorless vegetables?

By the way, you need to have hair to be a dirty hippy. Listening to the Dead all the time just shows poor taste in music.

That's why he's not one o' them dirty-type hippies. No hair.
