Thank you to everyone for all of your thoughts and prayers over the last few hours. Jenn and Hogan are resting as comfortably as they can right now, with (thankfully) nothing more than a few scrapes and bruises. Now for the difficult part of dealing with the insurance companies as we have to replace a car and pay some medical bills. :( Once ( Read more... )

The tension in France must be palpable this morning as the true contenders in this year's Tour are gearing up for the individual time trial. For the first time in 7 years, there is no patron, or clear leader. Will Floyd Landis continue with the form that helped him win three early season stage races? Will George Hincapie ride into the hearts of ( Read more... )

It's been quite some time since I've put anything up on LJ, so I thought I would write an "I'm not dead" post. Basically the only thing I've been doing for the last three weeks is taking care of Jennifer and working my ever loving ass off. Summer is a fun time in retail distribution, as it seems impossible to be able to push fertilizer, ( Read more... )

Well, I did really well on my ride last night for the first mile...and then I saw Nathan waiting for us at the bottom of the first climb. Nathan O'Neill is a pro, really a pro. Nathan races for Healthnet/Maxxis, and is one of the best cyclists in North America (even though he's Australian). Nathan also happens to live in Braselton, so he ( Read more... )

Since Jenn is having a sister night with Heather, I'm going to attempt to hang on with the hammerheads in the race paced ride tonight. Everytime I've shown up for that ride, I've left feeling worse about myself. Hopefully tonight I can find a group of folks to draft with. Updates to follow...

I'm sure all of you know by now that Jenn had her ultrasound yesterday, and that we are officially having a boy. I can honestly say that the ultrasound was one of the best moments of my life so far. I'm not a bit ashamed to say that I was pretty teary throughout the whole process, especially when we found out that the bun is a Hogan. You see, I ( Read more... )

The computer is unattended at the moment because Jenn is not home, so I figured it would be a great time to catch up on a meme that harrysmom tagged me to do.

I just found this cool status bar that I can copy and past from Geocaching.com.

So I wasted loads of beautiful sunshine yesterday, only to have my group ride rained out. At least I thought it was rained out, until the sun came flashing back right at 7. So if I had just trekked on down to the bike shop I would actually have been able to ride. At the time I was not that upset, as it enabled me to make it to the chat on time ( Read more... )

maple_mahogany tagged me a few days ago for the interview meme. Now that I'm on vacation I finally have time to do this. The rules are as follows ( Read more... )
