Hello again...I'm back after a brief haitus. We went camping as you probably know if you're checking in on my lovely wife's blog, baking my noodle. Actually it wasn't so much camping as safari. You can't call it camping when you bring 50 pounds of cast iron cookware and sleep in a tent that has it's own mailing address. I'm not complaining mind you. Sleeping in a tiny little leaky tent and eating out of lightweight aluminium cookkits was 'da bomb' when I was a scout but there's a lot to be said for the safari idea. I understand why ol' Teddy Roosevelt was so fond of it. All of the beauty of the outdoors and most of the important comforts of home.

I managed to do a lot of good bike riding up in the hills/mountains of North Georgia. I suffered through a lot of it but I also triumphed and succeeded. There's a lesson there, but I'll let you figure it out. Anyways, we're back safe and not less sound than when we left.

A quick Tyler Hamilton update. He did well today at the Giro. So with only two hard days left he's in third place. If he can hang on tomorrow and do well in the last time trial (his specialty) it looks like he might win this thing. It's the second biggest bike race in the world, only slightly less prestigious than the Tour de France. For Tyler just to be in the place he is with one stage win and in third place overall is a huge deal. Now there's a guy who's running his race! Forza Tyler!
