A little embarrasing

So we went for another bike ride today, and we went on a new "little" loop that ended up being both very long and very intense. My uncle and I were both totally sucking wind as we were nearing the end of the climb, and right as I pulled over to catch my breath for a second (and let my uncle catch up - shit yeah), this extremely nice man passed me. He was at least 70. Now, you need to understand, I'm starting to get used to getting annihilated in the foothills by the female cyclists of Boise, but to get creamed by an old man who was not even breathing hard (and I could see the concern in his eye, like he was worried I wasn't going to make it to the top and he would have to race down the mountain and call Lifeflight to get me), smiling his huge, dentured smile at me... it hurt bad. But he was very nice, and clearly having a great time, enjoying the afternoon. I still kind of wanted him to fall. A little.

We had fried chicken tonight for Megan's last night - it was awesome. My aunt does pretty darned good work, but I definitely miss my mom's creative, one-time-only concoctions (and pasta of any kind). My aunt and Megan leave tomorrow early, and then my uncle leaves Thursday evening; after that, the kids and I have the place all to ourselves until Sunday. That's right - kegger. $5 gets you all the Keystone you can drink. I guess I should say that I'm kidding so my brother doesn't buy a plane ticket.

Btw, I just heard today that Hugo Chavez, in addition to moving towards abolishing Venezuela's presidential term limit, is going to move his country's clocks forward a half an hour starting January 1, 2008. I read this in a short article on hotair.com (a pretty awesome website) called "Evil Clown's Megalomania Turns Stupid."

Oh, and I am now officially enrolled at BSU. I'm going to be taking Cell Biology MWF from 8:40-9:30. It will be cool, but I'm not exactly thrilled to be "back in school," because as we all know, I'm "too cool for school."
