You're allowed. The sculptures in that set are the work of my brother,
the
starving artist hippie in the family. They were on display at his alma
mater, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts. You can see "s. flom"
carved
into the ass of one of them.

The sculptures are good. Reminds me of that prolific Norwegian
sculptor, whatshisname. The one with the whole park of sculptures.

Thanks. I'm proud of my brudder. Maybe you mean Gustav Vigeland. We're
half Norwegian, so it must be in the genes. Well, his anyway.

Well, that's amusing, but being old-school, I still think that sitting

Too drunk to be lonely.

Yes, I did notice the past tense when you were referring to your
gentlemanly ways.

I have relatives that knew the guy. When he retired, his life
became consumed with buying sacks of concrete and and collecting
Rhinelander beer bottles as the raw materials for his creations.

explain that those who can no longer climb, sprint. After which he said
something like "You climb really well for an older guy."

Ouch.

I'm 51, he's 42, not *that* much younger!

What a sissy. Imagine the lines I'm getting at 63 when I do a long
ride and don't have any after effects while the young guys are crying
about their legs hurting?

There's the guys, Sean, who up until last year would show up once in a while
and try to mix it up in the sprints. He's in his late-70s now. Still goes
over to Ireland each year for a double metric century.

If there's anything I've noticed as I've gotten older, it's that I have a
lot more endurance than before, or perhaps it's just more patience that lets
me know that, if I'm not feeling great at the beginning of a ride, there's
no reason to let that bug me and wreck the day, because in all likelihood
I'll start feeling better as the ride goes on. And those young punks that go
flying off the front right from the start? Amazing how many of them you see
along the way, debris littering the side of the road (or camped out for
hours at a rest stop, trying to convince themselves to keep going).

About 2 hours door-to-door, 31 miles, 3600ft of climbing. Rides, not races.

Two things:

the assault weapons. Make it a point to invite any prospective
boyfriends in for a tour of your gun collection. "Do you know _why_
they're called assault rifles, Timmy...?"

I visited my son while he lived in a nearby town, and I remember no relief
in the terrain. Now that he's in Mountain View, and I need to visit him,
I'm silly enough to brink a bike out. When do you ride? And a polite
evasion will not be met gruffly.

What size bike do you ride Sandy? When you're here I wouldn't mind putting
in a ride with you.

Yes, but will a polite evasion be met gruffly?
