HiHoHoliday Ramblings

Ah, the cold and gray have settled in outside while the malls are buzzing inside (with 20 year old shooters, no less!).  I however, have yet to set foot in one and I'm damned proud of it!  Of course, a huge part of the reason that I don't like the malls this time of year is that it's mostly insanity!  But, c'est la guerre...

Hey, our buddy Don Frey, came in last week and asked Brian to scrounge up some stuff for his "2007 Riding With The Devil Cyclocross Awards".  Now, if you know Don, you know he's loopy about cycling AND he's an artist.  Well, the results are astonishingly cool!  Here, see for yourself!  Funny thing is, those parts didn't look anything like that when we gave them to him!

So, then one of our reps came in this week and asked if we'd seen the You Tube video of Judge Judy and the couple who's dog slipped out of her collar, ran into the path of a cyclist, and knocked the cyclist down. If you want to smile, laugh, and applaud, watch this!  (YAY JUDGE JUDY!)

But wait, there's MORE.  I've told you about Bikesnobnyc and I've commented upon how carbon bicycles all seem to be sort of alike ... well, Bikesnob offers some pretty incontrovertible PROOF! Take a look. 

So just thought I'd post a short blog before I forgot any of this stuff.  You know that ad that says "life comes at you fast"? - well, they ain't kidding!  It's more like, "gone in 60 seconds!"

Oh, I lied - one last comment.  If you're a "boomer" (I don't really think I like that term) - how about, if you're an old hippie - nah, not that.  If you like Beatles music, go see Across the Universe.  Our barista Caitlin INSISTED that we see it (even gave us money so we couldn't say no!) and I'm actually glad she did.  While it's a little "chick flicky", I think the musical interpretations are excellent and the portrayal of the times brought back a lot of memories - not all of them good!  All-in-all a pretty good movie though.

Have a great day!
