The True Story of X-Mas!

Two hilarious videos about the origins of father christmas are available online from Rare Exports Inc.  The production value is excellent for the type of video, I’m hoping there’s a feature-length film in the making.  If you’re a big fan of christmas these videos may disturb you … you pansy!

Watch the first video.

And the second, even funnier video:

Round two!

I went riding again yesterday, this time solo.  I added a few miles to the trek (starting from home instead of the Bush Library.  You can see my route here.  I’m planning to go again tomorrow and take some photos.

First Ride!!!

I went on my first ride with the new bike today. It’s not new new, but new to me. After spending several hours cleaning and tuning the bike I was ready to go. Special thanks to Dr. Maslowski for showing me one of her local bike paths. First time out: 16.5 miles, 1′:20″. I can’t wait for more, my legs on the other hand are ready for a break.
