As a part of the rebirth of Vinny thing I'm going through, I decided to buy a bike and start riding a bike to work. It'll take the place of my jogging and it'll get me to work, two cans with one stone (throwing rocks at birds is fucked up), so to speak.

I don't think I'm obsessed with fitness or anything, I just want to be more physically active, and earth friendly and shit like that. I've always done Surfrider beach cleanups and the like throughout high school and I donated money from my paycheck while I was in the navy. So why not take it up just a little notch. Besides. My bike commute to work wouldn't be more than an hour at the most, more like half an hour to forty five minutes. I did it in Spain, about ten miles both ways, against the dreaded levantes. I think I can do it here.

Am I nuts to be thinking of doing this?

If I can get to work in five to ten minutes in my car, then I think it's a reasonable distance to cover on a bike.

I used to be such a workout nut. Maybe meathead is a better term. But now it's not about how big I can get my arms or what my max bench can be. I just want to be able to chase down my daughter when she escapes with my cell phone without wheezing afterwards. My kids are waaay too hyper for me to be out of shape.





To my very special friend,
I love you very much, it's true. But it doesn't have to be any way you don't want it to be. The simple fact is that I will always be here for you. I'm totally happy to be me with you. No pressure, no expectations, no fronts. I love every aspect that makes you the person you are. You're like an endless song I can't stop listening to. I was going somewhere poetic with that but I lost it. I'll just leave the poetry to you because it's one of the awesome things you do.
So goof with me, laugh with me, talk with me. I'll always have a smile waiting for you! And yes, I do love you very much.

I remember the days of just keeping time
Of hanging around in sleepy towns forever
Back roads empty for miles

Well you cant have a dream and cut it to fit
But when I saw you I knew
Wed go together, like a wink and a smile

Leave your old jalopy by the railroad track
Well get a hip double-dip hip Tip-Topy, two seat Pontiac

So you can rev her up, dont go slow
Its only green lights and no rights
Lets go together like a wink and a smile

Now my heart is music, such a simple song
Sing it again the notes never end this is where I belong

Just the sound of your voice the light in your eyes
Theyre so far away from yesterday
Together like a wink and a smile
We go together like a wink and a smile.
