Chicken Hearts


I sometimes get lumped into the picky eater category due to my distaste for lake/sea creatures (I'm sure this comes from years of catching catfish in our dark green/brown lake then watching a member of my family cut it open with a rusty knife) however, let the record show that last night I ate a chicken heart. I'm sure this will catapult me above Clif and Angie who don't eat things like tomatoes and cottage cheese.

Dreams

Recently three members of my family had the unique opportunity to have one of their dreams come true...they got to ride in the prologue of the Tour of California. A professional bike racing event, and possibly one of the largest cycling events in the U.S.  I've never seen (well heard) three grown men so excited. The prologue was a 2.1 mile time trial starting in Palo Alto where Chris and Leanne now live. They got to start just like the pros, riding down the little ramp while their name is announced just an hour before the pros. They unfortunately didn't come close to beating any of the pros times however, they did get to pretend for a day that they were professional cyclists. So click this link and you can see Adam, Chris and my dad starting their race! (They are at about 10 minutes into the broadcast).
