Of course, when I bowl, it's usually just entertainment to go along with pitchers of beer. you and me both, but he's only 12 - LOL! He'll be in college soon enough Do they do that glow bowl stuff? We had a fundraiser bowling thing, and my boss actually got sick when they flipped on the strobes and black lights and played that awful music. I'm not much of a fan either. Gives me a huge head ache. tell me about it - how is it that I will have 2 kids in college this fall? I cannot possibly be that old!
Hey, at least those two will be off the payroll soon Heck, my parents were just happy when I went to college because I was finally out of the house. I mean come on, I could have used a little sadness or something, but no, I think they threw a party when they got home. haha my mum always says she was lucky - I moved out at 17, my borther at 18 and neither of us went back. She now lives in a rural area sowe couldnt go back even if we wanted to because we would never be able to get jobs there! |

So cool! Last year's TdF was just AWESOME! So glad Levi got a podium. I don't think I've ever posted this on BT before, but it's from 1997 at an Omnium they used to have here in Jackson, MS. The cool part is at the very end when the road race winner is coming in. Right about 3:30 in the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsfVdBfzLHE
thats awesome - he seems like such a nice guy! (sooo much better than contador who I cant stand) I actually started buying Gerolsteiner water when Levi rode for them. I guess I can't make fun of all the NASCAR brand loyal fans anymore. Is Andy Schleck riding le Tour this year? He was awesome in the '07 giro at the age of 21!! |

Yeah, I live in a place that is a wee bit college football (american football) crazy. It's pretty much the only sports topic. The people to talk cycling, or actual football/soccer to are few and far between. Although, a few people did ask me to explain bike racing to them last year when they caught me watching it in the break room. They seemed to lose interest pretty quickly though.

I think its because its on Free to Air television... so the idea is to get as many people watching as possible and not scare them off.... I think one of the other sites (Slowtwitch? cyclingnews?) did a really good feature on all of the bikes being ridden? |

Im just lucky I work for the broadcaster... But there still arent many people I have to talk about the Tour to which is why I bore BT with long winded posts at this time of year |
