Is it Really Almost October?!?!?
To quote the Steve Miller Band, "time keeps on slippin' ... into the future." Not only that, it seems to continue accelerating.
Anyhoo, just a quick "weekend update" of sorts.
First, I lost a couple more pounds this week. So I've lost six total so far. I am also closing in to my first goal on my "virtual bike ride" (scroll to the bottom of my homepage), riding from my current city of residence to my home town of Mt. Carmel. In fact, based on my average pace, I should reach it by Friday. So I've already decided on my next destination, which is a shorter trip, from Mt. Carmel, to Berne, IN. I haven't picked the next location just yet. It's going to be fun watching this build up over time, seeing routes criss-crossing the US. At some point in the near future, I'm planning on adding an animation so you can play back the history, watch as the days go by at watch the little bicycle move on the map. Yeah, I'm a nerd.
So we went to see a movie this week, The Brave One. This was one I had to kind of talk Donna into going to see. Unfortunately, it turned out not to be that great. It had its moments, but it was way too long, and for the most part just not all that engaging. It was cool to see Sayid from Lost (well, OK, Sayid is a fictional character, the actor is Naveen Andrews). I don't think I've seen him in anything else, and I really like him on Lost.
Today's NASCAR race was a lot more entertaining. Couple of observations. First, I love Dale Jr., and I'm not a big fan of Kyle Busch, but Jr. really screwed up when he took out Kyle, and I don't blame Kyle one bit for being ticked off. On the other hand, I saw Jr. interviewed during the rain delay, and as I've observed before, he man'd up and totally owned up to it. Then there was the wreck-fest finish, which was shortened because they ran out of daylight. It was really weird, first they said they were shortening it to 225 laps. Then 210 laps. Then, after the last caution, when a nice three car green/white/checker shootout between Biffle, Boywer and Johnson was brewing, the abrubtly decided not to restart and freeze the field, giving Biffle the victory. Now I was happy to see Biffle win, because I like him and he's been in a real slump, but Bowyer was catching him and it would have been fun to watch.
Well, that's all for now. Time to gear up and get ready for Muuuunday.
