for those keeping count–that’s three blogs containing words that make my mother blush. awesome.
why i have word of the day on my google homepage:
get in gear!
ak is riding in the tour de cure, a sponsored ride to raise money for the american diabetes association. diabetes affects 20 million americans; the most significant to me is my dad, diagnosed at the age of 8.
i’ve donated, and i’m asking you to do the same here. it’s a good cause and every little bit counts, skip sbux for a day and contribute your coffee money. it’s enough that you can feel good about yourself without hopping on a bike and sweating your guts out.
ak, thanks for riding for both of our dads!
bike speak
may is bike month, and today is ride your bike to work day. i’m not a biker so i don’t take part in these activities, however, the geeks are, and they do.
although i think they got confused and thought it was DRIVE your bike to work day. whatever.
i don’t speak bike, so when jb looked at me this morning and mentioned, “darn it, i forgot my scrotum today”, i was speechless. the disturbing part to my tender ears was that he said darn and scrotum in the same sentence. you see, i really feel that a forgotten scrotum deserves at least a damn…but that’s just me.
commander in queef
i cannot believe i just wrote a blog title containing that word! i hate that word, however, it’s very fitting and i can’t ignore a good rhyme.
in honor of our fearful, errr…i mean fearless leader’s address to the nation tonight:
photo taken at snowbird this weekend (thanks jon). ahhh, clearly a man after my own heart.
