- Shadowfax just got a tune-up, bath, and new headset so he's looking and riding better than ever!
- it's a fundraiser for a good cause
- it's sponsored by new belgium, which is a company I support and probably means there will be lots of free* beer!
- the race includes fun things like mystery checkpoints and obstacle courses
- I've never done a bike race before, and this type of thing sorta thrills/intimidates me
There is one sad point tough, I'll need to spill out some brew for my injured homey Laurel. She was supposed to be my teammate, but she hurt her foot. I got a ringer teammate through the event organizers, he's in town for a Mud Run and happened to have Sunday free. (?). He's a cool guy but no Laurel.
Here's the first mystery clue...
* free as in beer....except I already pre-paid for it by entering the race.

To fully enjoy this video, every time it says "maneater" just say "anteater" to yourself.
Your curiosity and unquenchable thirst for knowledge will take you very far in life. Your morals and kindness will help you figure out what to do when you get there.
I wish you all the best and more in your 6th year of life, thank you for letting me be your father.
This is not an energy policy. This is money laundering: we borrow money from China and ship it to Saudi Arabia and take a little cut for ourselves as it goes through our gas tanks. What a way to build our country.Tom Friedman
I’d convinced myself that the seller wouldn’t take our low offer, but they did. So now we’re on to the next step, inspection.
Venessa and I just made an offer for this house (there’s no address on the listing but it’s on 24th and Judkins, a few blocks west of where we live now).
It was just what we were looking for, small, high-quality kitchen, open layout, bright, room for a garden, but not too much yard to maintain.
Anyway, I recently noticed that Pitchfork (which I usually avoid like a bearded fanny-pack-wearing Vice-reading plague) gave a The Who greatest hits album a perfect 10.0*. The album name sounded familiar, so I went home and lo and behold there it was on my CD rack. (One fringe benefit of shacking up with your special lady: album collection instantly gets twice as big).
So I gave it a listen and I liked the lyrics to this song (please ignore the use of the sexist term "men", I think they meant "people")...

I like how it's about faith but not about burying your head in the sand and saying "God will provide if I have faith". It's about having faith in yourself.
* Here's a list of all 26 albums that Pitchfork gave a perfect 10.0
Thanks!

Calling all people with teeth!
I need your depleted toothpaste tubes for a secret project. Don’t throw them away, donate them and get the satisfaction of knowing your small donation will go to something bigger than any one of us.
This has nothing to do with getting your DNA off the tubes or otherwise identifying you from your tube. It will go into a huge pool of anonymous toothpaste tubes.
Contact me for donation options (mail, pickup, etc). I’m willing to pay you back for postage.
I realize how infrequently people finish toothpaste tubes, but this is long-term project so no worry. I'll need them for months and probably years to come!
