In for the boyz
Nemo!!!! what if we are the only Cowgirl Chicas???? I gotta get Kathy in on this one!!!!
How bout if you watch a Bourne marathon? All three...and we have all of the Lord of the Rings....all of the Star Wars...all of the Indiana Jones....and I know this will make many of you very jealous...we have every available episode of the original Star Trek series. Yes. I know... it's a dream come true for many of you and just so you know, the case they come in is kind of like a tri-quarter scanner used by Bones. Then there is the Dirty Harry collection, the John Wayne collection, the Audrey Hepburn collection, the Rogers and Hammerstein collection....my my my the possibilities are endless. Oh and the BEST EVER...the BBC production of Pride & Prejudice with Colin Firth. Six epic hours and who isn't moved when Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy gaze at one another across the room after Elizabeth rescues Georgiana from the imperious Bingley sisters.
Actually, Beth, if you really wanted a fun set to watch for several hours while biking, order The Tenth Kingdom from Netflix. If you ordered it tomorrow you would get it in time. GREAT fun to watch series. It meshes all the fairy tales together in a modern twist. One of my very favorite series...hands down.
I love it!
see that is the difference between you guys and us girls cuz we don't have to ask, we already KNOW we dominate!! signing up now! Jim H says "Bring it"... let's see what you got...dude. m
Like I told you, the OS has sucked the bike mojo right out of me
yes, put the url in and it should shorten it, or go to bit.ly or use (hootsuite) or download a twitter client (tweetdeck, tweetie) and you can do it from there.
I'm crazy for challenges as always- In for the boyz(older?).

Nah, I'm heading to Boston for the weekend (to include a Harpoon Brewery tour!). I'd offer to hook up with the Boston EN-ers to ride together but...I want a three day training break more.
I am going to sign up, but I am still waiting for the "Parent's of young children s/b/r while they are in school" weekday challenge
As y'all saw Phillip's post about the 12" of snow we received in Dallas in the last 24 hours, there won't be any outside riding for this guy!
