Great news about your wife! A one-year milestone is by no means insignificant! And clearly something to celebrate!BTW – I started participating in the Breast Cancer 3-day (yeah, we walk 60 miles over the course of 3 days, camp out each night, use lots of porta-potties and no it is not an estrogen-fest) event after learning my step-sister had breast cancer. I am a 2-year veteran who has raised over $16.5k to eradicate this disease from our lives! I am planning to walk in Seattle in August 2006! BTW – they have route safety folks riding their bikes (fully motorized by their own legs and engine)! That’s a not too subtle hint that there are other fund raising events that you allow you to ride your bike! Anyway, it would be great to see you along the route or even at a cheering station! Think about it!!!Dug – you should never underestimate the power (output) of a woman!!!Caren.

Rocky – speak your mind. Then take your punishment like a man (cowering in the corner in the foetal position whimpering "I want my mummy").

Al–wouldn’t it suck if, in throwing down your gloves, little miss red head dismounts her spin cycle and proceeds to drop you like a bag of dirt? I went to a couple of spin classes with my wife last year–I don’t know what that pixie was on–pixie dust I reckon, but whatever it was, I want some. Geez, I thought I was going to hurl toe nails after that little workout. And I am quite certain she could take me.Mike–Fatty’s sister is…wait, I can’t go there. She can take me, I am sure, and since she is not amused by my tnedency to use her as material in my feeble attempts at sophomoric humor, she might just have to assert herself. I can’t take that risk. She scares me. Much more than does Fatty.

dug…what does the little woman weigh, anyways? There is that strength-to-weight ratio thingy and a 175 might just put her in the driver’s seat…

Rocky, I haven’t dared to mess with the spin instructor. That little 110 pound redhead is in a position to hurt me much worse than I could hurt her. But yeah, if she whipped out the Kenny G after a "hill" workout, I’d take a chance, throw the gloves down and call her out. Some things, you just don’t do. Grover Washington, Luther Vandross, Pink Floyd, maybe even Enigma, fine. But Michael Bolton or John Tesh? I’d have to speak some truth to power there…

Rocky – you’re only as old as the person you feel. That’s why I married a girl over 5 years younger. It’s probably the only reason I’m not in a high risk heart attack group right now.

dug..dug..dug. How does she put up with you? 295, indeed!Al–I would ride with you anytime. I have always wondered what baby-head boulders look like going through automobile glass. Hmmm…do you throw stuff at the instructor in spin class? Geez, what would happen if she played some mellow smooth jazz as a warm down and you had to harsh on her for such egrigiousness?I purposely re-programmed my cyclo-computer to read 30% higher than actual in order to ward off old age. I am avidly subscribe to the addage: "you are only as old as your cyclocomputer says you are." I ride alone so as not to disrupt my ruse.

Fatty – Thanks for your nice comment about my Blog Dictionary, which has now become everyone’s blog dictionary. Yesterday afternoon I read a definition of one word on Space of Grace, I think it was (I gave credit for it) and my brain started going and I could not stop thinking of more words, so I started making the dictionary and then I also couldn’t stop that. And today other people (first BigMike in my email and then more and more in comments) came along to help, so there are now two addendums, and lots more words added to the original. I’m color-coding them in the original so people who have already read it can figure out what’s new.Botched – I laughed my hiney off at your comment about not looking Al in the eyes. Your usual great stuff, eh? LOLOLOL!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~I have decided to start calling my exercise bike a "trainer" just to be in the "in" crowd… sort of like a groupie. Okay… I guess I AM a groupie… LOL! So if I’m a Fatty Groupie, is that a Froupie? And an ordinary groupie would be a Bloupie? (Stop me before I define again!)Hugs,MuMo

Hey, Al! That was truly enlightening! What scared me before was that I understood the previous explanation the second time I read it, but I did find your explanation up to your usual standard of bushwah combined with bravado and amusement combined with enlightenment. So I’m feeling pretty cool just now and I have a certain smirk and tilt of the chin. Congrats on your big win and your new bike bag, by the way. I don’t know if I said that before, but it was thrilling.This was definitely the whole Maviva!Hugs,MuMo
