Claire,

I checked those books out online. They look like a pretty good
selection.

It makes one sceptical of the idea that Santa travels using reindeer.

I got some rollers. Pretty cool, I've never tried them before. Way
better than the trainer.

Merry Happy.

1. New rear wheel and cluster, so I can swap studded and regular tires
easily.
2. Daughter gave me a $25 gift certificate to kiva.org, a microfinance site.
I've loaned money to a bike / moto repair shop in Cambodia.

Gravity -- It's not just a good idea. It's the law.

I received a bicycle pump with a built-in air pressure gage and an extension
at the bottom to step on to hold the device steady while pumping, very
hi-tech. But I'm interested in the Kiva microfinance site mentioned, it
seems to be a very good concept, almost like joining the peace corps without
actually going anywhere or doing anything. I'm considering giving a loan,
anyone else have experience with Kiva?

I got snowed out of riding on my days off work grrrr

Hey, me too (Dec 19). We're in good company -- lotsa
musicians & composers.

I treated myself to a cantaloupe, which I left at
basement temperature for a couple of days until it
got nice & soft inside without being so mushy you
could stick a finger through the rind. And a brick
of vanilla ice cream with which to top it. I enjoyed
a li'l nostalgic moment while savouring it, and
honouring my parents who provided so much for me
despite their Communistic and Socialistic tendencies.

Tropical patterns, eh? I like 'em. Bike shorts
should be available w/ Hawaiian shirt prints on 'em.
With lots of lovely, glorious, gawdy colour.

I'm also the recipient of a George Foreman G+Broil.
I'm on the lookout for marlin steaks. In the
meantime, the grilled cheeses are pretty good.

But my niece -- she's such a beauty. From her I
got this lovely mac-jacket with diamond-tufted
insulated lining, an inner pocket, zipper + snap
buttons, and built-in hoodie. In beautiful
red & white, winter-coloured plaid (hey, she's stuck
in somewhere, Col.) It feels so good to wear, it's
like a hug.

I got a hug from somewhere that gets a lot of snow
in Colorado.

It's beautiful to me, and just what I needed.


cheers,
Tom

Will you settle for a Hawaiian jersey?

Cycling shorts should be black for . . . privacy reasons.

However any of these...

Plus a chamois liner would be very nice.

I was told that the bike shop managed to find someone in Asia with
green Chris King hubs and a headset.

I went on my first trip as a Bike China tour guide.

I justified my purchase of a multi-tool with my being a tour guide. I
haven't used it yet. I probably won't. But it fits nicely in my
seatbag along with the tire levers and patch kit that I don't use.

Would not the "Hawaiian" pattern mask the male bulges?

You could make them. The hardest part is getting a decent chamois for
them. I've made a few pair. Of course, they are 15 years old now,
and should move out of the drawer and into the trash bin, because the
fabric has long since given it up.
