In Case You Were Wondering....

For those of you who frequent this page (and when I say "frequent" I mean "visit more often than posting occurs" --which probably refers to approximately 0.000000000000000000000001% of the population of Reno), are probably confused by Scott's (a.k.a Jermaine) recent posting about also being famous.

You may think he's trying to steal the limelight from me, but it's not quite stealable. He's referring to THIS article in the RGJ about him. About US, actually. Or, perhaps, more appropriately, about John Wilson feeling like a kid again.

Ahhh fall is here

I think fall might be here now. Cool air slips in through window at night forcing me deep under the covers. The thin blanket that had nearly asphyxiated me with heat all summer has now been covered with a heavy down comforter. I look forward to the time when I get to rake up all my leaves into a pile and then dive into them from the top of the wall. Then I will look forward to the broken clavicle and 3 months of physical therapy that will follow after failing to recognize that our trees produced approximately 11 crispy leaves this year and wouldn't break the fall of a thin four year old. I have a love-hate relationship with winter. I love to go on vacation to warm climates during the winter and I hate the chilly times in between those vacations. Winter just brings so much misery. Now that Amber and I have a kick ass scooter that get 95 miles to the gallon we will undoubtedly be in this situation sometime this winter. At least our friendly neighbor makes us delicious brownies all winter. 

Hey now I'm famous too.

I'm Expecting!!!

Hooray!! After months of waiting, I'm finaly ready to announce. I'm expecting a new member of the family. So now, it'll be two dogs...and eleven bikes! That's right eleven bikes!

My new bike will be the Anthem X1. After racing on a heavy (31+lb ) all-mountain bike, I'm finally upgrading to an actual race bike--six pounds later (meaning that I don't have to struggle so hard to lose those last 6 pounds :) ). So, in six days or so, we'll have a new addition in the garage. Better go make room!
