Happy Fourth of July!

False, kind of, Advertising

I have a Fourth of July tradition that started three or four years ago. A friend and I ride the Tour D'Amico supported bike ride. Some rides say they're supported, but the Tour D'Amico surpasses most rides. Not only do they have SAG and typical support, they have hydration/snack stops that are amazing. Basically it's a great way to eat and bike through the Minneapolis suburbs although I'm not really sure where I am most of the time. This year we used Ride with GPS. It voiced each turn of our way including hydration stops. It was a great morning of riding and eating. The Hiawatha Bike Club sponsors the event, and at the end of the ride one of the members asked my opinion. "You already know my complaint," I stated and explained there were no Salted Nut Rolls as advertised on the website. I actually took note of my complaint. Of course, I followed it with compliments because it is a really grade ride with three different lengths of routes (something for everyone). I didn't, however, tell him that the lemon bar at the end stop (lunch by D'Amico) and for that matter the molasses cookie (one of the rests stops by D'Amico) more than made up for the lack of Salted Nut Rolls.

Happy Fourth of July everyone! Let me know if you'd like to ride with us next year. It's a great way to start the day.

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa . "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal." My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active. Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside. December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity. I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food). Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country . President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" . Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group. The...

What if... The Delivery

Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska. When she opened the box, she was confused. Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag. When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun. She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind. During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt. When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird. The friend was in a state of denial. Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments. She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt. After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened. The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
