Is that a retorical question? I have many people on suicide watch today
because the Jets lost last night. WOW, Right down to the wire. What a
game. We almost had it. The Jets played a great game....even if I am a
Giants fan...I have to admit they played a great game. Now it's time
to get the football pools going. Who will win the super bowl. More
importantly..who will win the office football pool. And will Lance
participlate in the next tour de france....or whatever the heck it is.
I am so up on cycling....I know one rider. Lance Armstrong. And that is
because he made the cover of sports illustrated because he rode into
history, winning a record sixth Tour de France and cementing his place
as one of the greatest athletes of all time. If he did not do that, I
would never have know who the guys was.

.. But I am learning. I've come a long way from my first convoluted
post. Don't ya think? I am still riding, still posting and still
exercising at the gym. I amaze myself. Now all I have to do is come
through on that 25 mile MS charity ride in may. I wonder if I can do
the ride on a stationary bike. I'm getting great at that. ;-)

Snowshoeing - best winter sport period. Much better than skiing, IMO.
