everytime i ski past this tree on our local trail, i haul ass before it starts throwing apples at me. kwik kwestion: if you had to pick a person to be on your team for a zillion-dollar Wizard of Oz trivia contest, whom would you pick ?? sux for you, because russell and i are going to be riding some very fine steel bikes indeed for the rest of our lives with our winnings. MK and i once shared a room at the iceman with russel, and he not only knows every line, but every detial of every scene. when you watch the W of O with russell, it takes on a whole new flavor. for example do you know the scene with the menacing flamingos in it, and what they are doing ?? neither did i.
anyway, MK is 2/3rds of the way thru her skool's production of the play - they are doing the "stage" version and it differs slightly from the teevee one - MK plays "gloria", the daughter of the mayor of Oz, and the "Merry old Land of Oz" song is sung as a solo by her in this version. today she is off to SPASH in 'point, attempting to become some sort of youth supreme justice for a later day in madison where kids take over the capital building for a day and then . . . . then . . . . . . . . . .
the belgian coach returns. in honour of the olympics last year, i attempted to be a chinese coach, but my arm got tired from hitting all those volleyballs at her while she cowered on the ground crying, and truth be told i while i know those chinese cats are some smart mofo's, i wasn't entirely sure how the process translated directly to cycling. this year we are entering the way-back machine, and we have her low-geared fixie ready to rock. we're gonna go eddy M style, and roll that fix till she can no longer feel her legs, and then go find some hills, maybe. i dunno. i gotta make sure she knows which end of the bike is the one that points forward first, it has been so long. anyway, no GPS, no PM, no HRM, she doesn't even have a schwinn approved speed-o-meter. what for ?? they all say the same thing anyway ( haven't people figured this out yet ?? ) - "you still suck, ride more".
i love being a belgian coach.

I know a ringer or 2 in the WoZ arena. I'd have to make some calls though. I wouldn't have guessed the tool man.
Do not lie. You are not hooking her up to a power meter for the same reason you can't see pro's at IM graphs.. It's evidence.

You fools had all better believe that I know what puts the ape in the apricots.
