Well, my `net connection didn’t want to cooperate today, but whatcha gonna do?
Over the weekend Michelle> & I went downtown with Geoff & Kathy to the Cycle World Show. The weather was perfect for riding and plenty of riders were out & about. The show itself seemed a lot smaller than last year and there weren’t many changes from the 2002 to 2003 model bikes.
Will post more pictures tomorrow when my connection isn’t dropping.

By MICHAEL KELLY
From Father’s Day to Thanksgiving isn’t normally such a long time – five months. But this year life moved in slow motion.
My daughter, a first-grade teacher in Killeen, Texas, had sent me a card in June saying how much she looked forward to a summer of visits and travel. The first day of the season, though, changed her life and mine and our entire family’s.
On June 21, Bridget was raped, shot three times and left for dead. She survived, some say miraculously. Now it seems years later, and we all feel years older. During this holiday season, we’ll stand in prayerful thanks ? grateful for our 25-year-old daughter, wise and strong; for an Army veteran who opened his door to her in the middle of the night; and to all who helped her get this far.

This evening’s joke sent in by Mark:
A high school English teacher reminds her class of tomorrow’s final exam.
“Now class, I won’t tolerate any excuses for you not being there tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family – but that’s it, no other excuses whatsoever!”
A smart-ass guy in the back of the room raises his hand and asks, “What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?”
(The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering)
Silence is restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says,
“Well, I guess you’d have to write the exam with your other hand.”
While I was reading thru Sarah’s site earlier today I clicked over to Mad Pony and checked out their latest photo essays. It got me thinking – I have plenty of photo essays on this website. I know most people head straight for the downloads while others scan thru the blog, but if you haven’t checked out my photo albums you’re missing some good stuff.
You like to look at silly faces? Or maybe you prefer to see photos labeled with smart @ss remarks? I’ve got action photos and even pictures that recapture some of the fun I’ve shared with friends.
The photo album is probably my favorite part of the site. And look at that left-side menu – there are games, jokes, novels compacted into Flash and I review all the GREAT COMEDIANS that come thru Dallas.
OK, I’m going to fire up some popcorn for Michelle & throw in a DVD now.

OK, that breaks new ground for the types of comments I receive about this website. I guess that’s an upgrade from “Dude! Where the @#!$ are the video downloads?”
Thank goodness Angela, Sarah & Tony had some positive feedback for me.
