I'm a doper...

So I woke up yesterday with that tingling feeling, like I was "glowing".  Turns out it wasn't the testosterone patches, like Tyler and Floyd were so fond of...
It was a sinus infection boring it's way into my skull...
One phone call later, I was in possession of the best antibiotics that my insurance plan would pay $1.81 for...!  No seriously, after insurance, the drugs cost me $1.81!!  And people are still sick across the planet?  I digress...

So today, I'm on the second day of the five day course of the Z, and have added Claritin D to the mix to dry things up.  If it's the first week of May, I have a sinus infection.  My head is better than a calendar...

ManCation '13 starts in 21 days, so this crap in my head will be killed my fire.  Mot going to Pa. sick, like last year...

So because of Sinus Infection's (Spring '13) tour stop, I didn't ride last night.  No big deal.  It's just a Thursday ride.  There will be more...

I did help JBrstl figure out the headset on his CX bike, and made a decent trade with the boy.  Thanks homie...

Instead of riding, I lounged around, ate a bit, and went to bed...at 8:30...

In case you need to get choked up this morning...

Video refuse to embed properly...dammit...

Follow this link to the story (and video) of how the Portland Timbers pro soccer team, and 3000 fans made a little boy's Make-A-Wish request into the best thing you'll see for a long, long time...

Portland Timbers v. The Green Machine

If that doesn't hit you right in the gut, and give you a warm, soft, fuzzy feeling, then I feel sorry for you...

The Giro starts this weekend.  I'm ready for some grainy Pirate feeds from Europe!!!

Sorry, this photo may be considered sexist...

Speaking of things pink, how about Ryder's Cervelo?  Not a huge fan of Cervelo bikes, but this one does it for me...

 Cobbled climb...yes, please...

 And who knew that out favorite elbow-warmer wearing, bike riding, college Professor is simply emulating Merckx when he's kitted up with the elbow sleeves?


And finally, I'm not a MTB guy, but if you force me to have one, make it this Groovy rigid.  Something more soulful about this bike than a carbon 5" dually...

And with that, I bid you adieu.  Illness doesn't mean that I can shirk my duties as Head Bottle Washer around here...
Errands await...
