Plans for this weekend are nuts for me right now. I have to get my Dad moved out of a rehab facility to a new assisted living home. Of course this was the weekend that my wife bought tickets for a matinee show to see Our Town at an off Broadway theater. Also I had planned to do a 100 mile ride on Sunday. Lucky I didn’t preregister since I probably won’t have time.

Some guy in college tried ambushing me in my closet in college. I nearly took his head off. I pulled back my punch in the last second when I realized it was him. I am so glad I didn’t hit him. Last time he tried that though.

Fiesta Trio: Yeah! I get to watch the Tour this morning instead of following it on web site. Into the mountains!

Lucky. I only got to watch a few minutes before work. I will sneak out when they get close to the top of the last mountain. My prediction is Armstrong loses at least 30 seconds to his teammate Contador. Andy Schleck and Carlos Sastre are the two guys who may stay with Contador.

Very. And a good guess I might add.

The Bull Gator:
If you lived where I do, you would know it very much has. At least that’s what it seems like sometimes.

Polk County? Brandon?

Fiesta Trio: If I had to choose a sport pilgrimage, I think I’d like to ride a Tour de France course (all stages), over the course of a month. Absolutely beautiful scenery.

I was going to have to be Vancouver for the Winter Olympics this year. Then I saw the ticket prices. I'll be watching it on TV.

Agreed Fiesta, although my 4-year-old girl lung capacity would make it a little difficult. But the sights would be amazing.

The myth with the guy in 2nd place was that he lived in the city limits and put up one and was fined so instead of taking it down and just going on with his life, he moved to where he was allowed to fly it. Not sure how much truth there is to that though.

Can’t imagine what a flag that size will run you. Especially if you factor in moving costs!

I’m very impressed by the reaction time of the kid in the video. He didn’t even think. That’s an athlete right there.

The Bull Gator: Never said it hadn’t.He made it bigger this past year. Not sure why he didn’t go for the record though. I think that one in Fort Wayne is the only one that’s bigger. At least that was the case back in October.

Yep, largest continuously flying flag in America.
