There's a tradition in my family.
Every year my grandmother sets up a lovely little manger display on her mantle, and every year it is attacked by little green army men in a christmas day invasion.  This year though my father was out of the country... so there was nobody there to order the attack, and my grandmother was there with him so there was ( Read more... )

I'm sitting here in the computer lab across the hall from the room where i'm about to have my last final of the semseter in 10 minutes and I have come to a realization.  See I've been awake since 10am yesterday, building a bike and writing a final paper... mostly finishing the bike, which will get its inagural ride today ( Read more... )

I have a confession to make, I like the kits that Rock Racing wears.  There, I've said it.  I've long thought that their jerseys and shorts stood out from the crowd in a good way, and on more than one occasion have looked at their website longing for a jersey, although without telling me where the chamois comes from I'm not willing to spend $50 on ( Read more... )
