Get on your fixed gear bicycle and ride!

I still feel that varable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear! --Henri Desgrange, L'Équipe article of 1902

MARVELOUS ME!

I have been chosen as the "marvelous me" for the week of Dec. 19-23 because it was my B-day on Sun, Dec. 18th!! I am now 38 years old and identify more and more with the 2nd graders I work with.....we had discussions on 'made out with' and 'wants to get naked with' last week so you can see we are on par with each other.....when asked, the reply was "thats what you do when you love someone"....I wanted to set the poor child str8, but figured I'd be digging a deeper hole for myself and the student....now, back to the "marvelous me"; I have to be second in line when we leave the room to go anywhere, I thought I should be in front, but I'd have to be the "line leader" and thats Keana's job this week!
