My Dad, always used to say that Friday the 13th, was his lucky day. Hard to say if it was indeed lucky, but at least it wasn't unlucky. It is all what you make it. Life is Good! Jeff I looked at it that way too, it could certainly have been worse. I didn't land on my face or break anything. THen I saw photos of all the giro crashes. Not like you can postpone a race for superstition. |

I think last year only one day of the long weekend was decent. I wouldn't have been on the bike today anyways. I'm trying to decide if my left butt cheek looks like: a) I slid on a giant cheese grater b) I sat on a big pizza c) like someone kicked me really hard d) all of the above I guess I'm not going to attract a lot of guys in this newsgroup.... |

I only have three requirements vis a vis the opposite sex. She must be: 1 intelligent 2 attractive 3 have low standards I can usually manage to find two of three.

Tell you what Marlene don't jump to conclusions and sell the guys here short, take a picture of the affected are and post it so we can decide for ourselves. Thank you. Gee... i gotta draw the line there. I am not taking a photo of my butt cheek and posting it here. I don't even have a digital camera at this time, so it's moot anyways. |
