Three weeks in a row I have been privileged to ride the shootout. Week 1 to the bridge, week 2 to Helmet Peak Rd., week 3 all the way around. None of them connected to the main pack. I did ensure my demise the last 2 weeks by going off the front early, but I needed to see where my fitness level really was.

Welcome whenever! Tucson is Great and now it is becoming Hot. I rode the bike home yesterday at 4:30pm in 104 degree weather. It was great!

To my friends considering relocating.
A few things I think of when looking at housing in Tucson are:
1. County vs. City taxes (Tucson, Marana, and Oro Valley)
2. Future Resale Areas including schools for those of us to busy to home school.
3. Another thought are Foreclosures. Areas which might interest you are Continental Reserve in Continental Ranch, Gladden Farms off of I-10 and Moore Rd., Sunset Point is my neighborhood, it is in the county but borders Marana and has an association with a pool.
4. I personally do not like a two story in Tucson because both levels need heat and cooling. We have both an Evaporative cooler and A/C. We have the best of both worlds... when the humidity is low the Evap works GREAT, when the monsoons come and it becomes humid and 100 degrees plus we switch to the A/C.

Parental Relationship Interview for my child!
1. How did you know when a relationship was just a crush or infatuation and not real love?
A crush or infatuation relationships prior to real love. When do you know? When a relationship has moved past the silly point to where it is real love. Real love is when the little things don't bother you anymore and you do things for the other person just because you want to, it is unconditional.

2. What did you learn about picking friends or getting into close relationships that you can share with me?
Close friends are developed and relationships are molded through experiences you have with those friends. Many of my closest friends as I grew up, continue to be friends to this day. A few of those friends continue to this day, others I have developed as an older person. Choosing friends which lead to close relationships can be very similar. Friendships often lead to closer relationships.

When choosing friends often those friends effect your choices for relationships. Choosing the freinds which help you make god decisions will lead to good relationships.

Good morning, I have just been thinking about [..] around Friday morning to [..] You know as a Tucson cyclist any day of the week you can be riding anywhere one second with one group then turn around and your are with another group. The coffee shop from another place just around the corner, pretty nice, pretty gorgeous [..] on Friday morning. listen

I think sometimes that...

I think sometimes that we feel connected and yet we're not connected. We feel that our family members are plugged in but they're not plugged in. And we feel that sometimes it's all about us because we are plugged in and we're needed, we feel needed. Although, we may not be really needed, formally(?) just be selfishly needed. listen

After Santa brought my #1a girl an electric guitar, I have played with it more than she, my #1 girl told me to go get my own. So I did, now I have an Ibanez Acoustic/Electric. I look forward to playing and learning it.

Rode to work today, it was nice. The trip home might not be so nice with high winds predicted.

Work, work, work, chase the dogs around the yard and then, #1a and I helped Laura Croft die numerous times last night........that was great fun. I cannot wait to try it again tonight.

My Wii purchase story from last year... I guess #1 and #1a girls were at the mall, upon departing they were walking past the "Game Stop" or whatever it is called. #1a asked if she could check about a Wii. I should tell you it is my fault for for even putting the idea in their heads since I saw something online months and months before it came out. Anyway, #1 cautioned #1a to not be disappointed since the systems were in short supply. Then, #1a came out smiling from ear to ear; they had one and at the non-marked up because of short supply. Someone put it on hold until 1:00pm and #1 and #1a showed up at 1:30. What a fluke. We have been playing ever since!

Now I need to figure out how to connect it to my trainer so I can ride and play, more.
