It’s The Lovely One’s birthday
Happy Birthday to The Lovely One! Birthday wishes to rsaloust at hotmail dotcom. Hopefully, the deck box waiting for her on the back patio will be exactly what she wanted. Tonight we go out to Wild Rice, and then for a little light Shakespeare.

Tour de France: Get ready for Saturday
Okay, the big guns have been quiet since Tuesday, if you’re interested in the GC. Friday isn’t much more important, and should be another day where Discovery just holds down the fort while GC no-hopers (is that too technical? What I mean is a rider who has lost so much time on earlier stages that […]

Tour-watch: Lanceification
Well, can I call it or what? Tuesday’s stage was an awe-inspiring display of power. In short: Lance put the yellow jersey back on today, and all but destroyed the hopes of most of the theoretical challengers. It was an amazing thing to see Armstrong just open up, and then watch names like Ullrich, Vinokourov, […]

I don’t suck!
I’m tired now, but I just had one of my best races ever. Won a prime sprint for a swanky watch, and was dangerously close to taking a podium spot. Some entertaining numbers: I saw a peak heart rate of 203 bpm, which is, frankly, something close to inhuman, but was consistent with the other […]

Things to Do in Vancouver: Tall Ships
As part of the new SeaVancouver festival (“it’s Sea-Fest without the drunken rioting!”), the Tall Ships have returned. What more need be said? You either like big wooden sailboats, or you don’t.

Things you think are a hoax, but aren’t.
Cat Agility Contests. You know, like Superdogs, except for cats. The photos and story from their first training event are not to be missed. Well, I’m pretty sure it’s not a hoax…
