Found out that my little girl got into Vassar College. Very proud papa right now. Of course it didn't hurt that she said her dad was friends with famous alum, The Monkey.

I have both versions of the XTR pedals and they have worked well. I actually use flats far more often than clipless though. Managed to get a quick pre-sundown 7 miles in this evening on my normal path with an increased avg speed of 14.8. Really slow for you guys but markedly better than the first couple of time pre-fit for me.

Give Ray Samuels a call, maybe he can meet you for lunch.

Thanks for all the nice congrats and comments, folks. I think you got the gist, but this was not just a normal acceptance and one of many. She applied early decision to Vassar so when they said Yes she had to say Yes -- was dying to say Yes -- so she will definitely be attending Dinny's alma mater. In fact, we paid a deposit of some sort yesterday to seal the deal! She has worked so hard and so consistently that she truly deserved to get her first choice. The nice side benefit is that I will have all the more reason to visit NY for the next few years so I hope to see more of the Northeast HC crew. Sorry sorry about the puking, Haj, and hope it was just some bad clams or something that will pass quickly.

^Truth. I like my secret agent / shrink pairing. I'll need to think carefully about this ... hmmmm .... (rubs goatee that doesn't exist)

Mtb arrives Friday. Mechanic on alert to get it built (minimal build up required) and adjusted over the weekend while I am away. I hope to try it out the following weekend.

Well, hot damn! That is fantastic news and a very big congratulations to all! Just watch out for this guy:

Started final acceptance testing for my second cluster. Less than a month til my life becomes somewhat normal. And then I go to hawaii for a week.

Pics of some of the young ladies who have sat in my lap this year... The latter being Miss Cayman, who is competing for Miss Universe, and was not dressed like that at the time.

Thanks! We are very excited about the new arrival.

Thanks, I'll stop by CostCo. I actually haven't been able to leave the apartment, waiting for my Samsung Galaxy Note II to arrive. Fucking FedEx.

When I went to the above link, Amazon notified me the Kindle edition of Seagalogy: The Ass-Kicking Films of Steven Seagal is also on sale. Just sayin'.

Wii U it is! Ordered today. I think he and I will have a blast playing some of the games. Especially once I get the BIG FUCKIN' TV.
