Hope you had a great birthday, kiddo!

The Cardinals home uniforms are just about perfect..... and we got these guys..... and :wub

douchebags. -- I will forever and always be a Cardinals fan - but since marrying a White Sox fan (and one who is obsessively a White Sox fan) and moving to Chicago, I have become quite a Sox fan myself. I certainly watch a lot more Sox games, since it is more accessible and that damn MLBTV is just shit. And yes, Hawk sucks. DJ is just a wet mop. I am quite smitten with Ed Farmer and Steve Stone, though. I love listening to Sox games on the radio.

That 10th inning was so freakin fantastic - I haven't been so excited listening to a game on the radio in ages.

we had something like that in STL when I was growing up. It was at the Magic House and it was called The Touch Tunnel - what an unfortunate name. My friends and I loved it....my parents? not so much.

we will also hopefully be seeing Elixr Sue and The Dude

Brad was a bike messenger during his final months. He loved it.

this is why I love bjorn.

My ex husband loved his fixed gear - though he had one of those hubs you could reverse it into a single speed if you wanted to. He was very zen about his bikes and he loved his fixed gear because he said it made him feel closer and more in tune with the movement and the machine - felt like one with it - etc. I remember my first ride on a fixed gear - it really throws you when you naturally go to coast and your legs keep moving and you almost get thrown off of the bike. I learned not to make that mistake again rather quickly. Stopping was also a challenge to get the hang of - but once you ge

so sorry to hear about Goose xo

I can't even imagine riding a fixed gear up a big hill. I am a pussy. I am from St Louis - not too many big hills there.

damn skippy - I love riding fixed gear bikes - it's been a long time. We found a pretty nice fixed gear when we cleaned out Brad's apartment. I keep meaning to give it a spin when I go to his sister's house. I did Critical Mass on a fixed gear once. Good times. These days, I ride a Terry Susan B - though I don't like it nearly as much as my old LeMond road bike, that I sold like 2 years ago. Big mistake.

Jen, were you aware of this?

I am so so sorry. Much love to you Mende.

Life is Beautiful
