OT GRS: Hamilton and divorce?

While in Germany, I read a newspaper blurb that iterated through Tyler
Hamilton's woes this year, including, according to them, a divorce from his
wife.

This came as a surprise to me, and seemed particularly suspicious as they
never mentioned the death of his dog. Seems like they might have gotten their
facts mixed up.

Anyone heard anything about a Hamilton divorce?

No, go to his website and I think you will get a different impression...

I would be quite surprised

Sure enough. I wonder where they got that idea.

It's hard to respond properly to a top-post.

Well, there's a big difference between a trip to Germany and a trip to visit
family ... I did the latter. My mother and I spent a solid eight days with my
grandmother, whom I hadn't seen in 12 years. It was ... well, let's just
leave it at the fact that it was *not* a vacation, and in comparison, the
flights to and from Germany were exciting and fun. Also possibly roomier --
grandma guilted us into staying in her one-bedroom apartment rather than
letting us stay in the hotel about a block away.

We did get one day with some family friends, and that was great. When I was a
kid, I lived a couple houses away from them, and they are still as welcoming,
loving, and generally awesome as they were back then. They even made my
favorite foods, which they still remembered.

I did gain at least one belt notch while in Germany -- combination of good
food and stress-eating. There wasn't anything else to do. There were great
hiking trails all over the place where grandma lives, but mom couldn't handle
any incline whatsoever, and I couldn't even get to breathing deeply walking the
flats with my mom. I was not allowed to hike alone (hi, I'm a full-grown
adult and everything!) because my mom was afraid I'd get kidnapped or
assaulted or something. The stress level in the apartment was high enough
that I didn't feel like starting a major row by just up and leaving. Then the
rain and the cold came, and we couldn't even do the scenic drives which
grandma apparently likes ... so, trapped in a tiny apartment with two other
women and a yappy dwarf poodle who can do no wrong in the eyes of my
grandmother.

Ah well. I was gratified to find that my German came back to me pretty well;
I was thinking in German and even had a bit of trouble finding the right
English words by the end of the trip. Our family friends expressed
astonishment at my lack of accent; one of the kids even commented that I spoke
in the Pfaelzish (sp?) dialect! Just a few things here and there; mom always
insisted that I speak proper German when I was a kid.

How was your trip?

Mine was not a "vacation" either - I was there on business.
Though I went with a German colleague who lived in Munchen
so he was a perfect tour guide. He knew all the restaurants,
beer gardens, the food, the customs, etc. I got to know the
rail system pretty well. Munich is a city of bicycles - I almost
got run over by bicyclists since I didn't expect them. I stayed
mainly at the Marienplatz, and got to go to Schwabbing (sp???)
I stayed for 2 weeks so the weekend in between, I went to
Salzburg, Austria with a Filipina friend who I met, who worked in
the same company (just friends, I'm married!). She spoke
fluent German and has lived in the Munich for 5 yrs. now, so
she was another perfect tour guide. I got to see Mozart's
birthplace, and the house where he grew up. I appreciated
this since I'm a musician (music hacker really).

I did not get to ride a bike though, my regrets. But the food,
the beer, the people, the city were great. I loved it and would
want to go back
