Subject: Eventful couple of weeks....

It all started about two weeks ago.

During an April 28 SNOWSTORM!!! my wife gave birth to our second little chillun', Quinton Pierre (not bad for half-Cajun, huh, Bear?).  Momma and the kids are all home right now resting and playing and loving life.  I forgot, from our first one, how tiring it is having a new baby around.

Aside from that, my biking has taken an odd turn, but not me as much as my bike.  Last week, I had a rear-wheel spoke break.  Didn't realize it until I got home that my brake was rubbing the whole time I was riding.  I mean I heard the 'POP,' but thought it was just a rock kicking out form under my tire.  Then Monday night, I flatted.  Not a big deal...until Tuesday night when I was madly powering up a hill (5 mph uphill is mad power, right? ), when I heard 'POP'...and I was stopped where I was.  Three rear-wheel spokes broke all at once!!!  What the he!!????

So two weeks, 4 new spokes, and one new tube later, I'm going to tempt the bicycling gods tonight, and hope they have better fortune to offer me.

Better luck to y'all!!
