Don’t Take your Feet Off The Pedals.

The picture below is what happens when you do. I should warn that it’s not a nice thing that happens. View at your own risk. It’s not like my leg is falling off but there’s some blood.

I went mountain biking last Saturday with my friend Ben Cramer. I was told that people that go biking with him get hurt. But there was a 3rd person with us so I figured that he would get hurt instead of me. Though it was my first time and I was borrowing a bike, whereas he had his own mountain bike. So I should have known it would be me. It was really fun even though I was scared to go down most of the hills. It drizzled most of the morning keeping us pretty cool. Thank you, Mitch, for letting me borrow your bike. I hope I didn’t kill your breaks.

What’s The Score Now?!

I’ve been playing soccer once a week for the last month. Most of the people I play with work at Univ. of Pitt. I knew some of them when I worked there a few years ago. Some of them work in labs and some of them are computer geeks. One of the guys is the fed ex deliveryman for our buildings. We have a large range of skill levels. We have a couple of people that are really good, like the fed ex guy. He played semi-pro in Scotland before he came to the US for School. But he has bad knees so he couldn’t keep playing at that level. We have a few of us that played in high school. I fall into that category. We are skilled and can make some plays and when we can’t we just push each other over. Then we have the people that basically never played before. When the ball comes near them, they pretty much kick it as hard as they can in what ever direction they are facing. Some of them tend to hurt everyone else. I’ve had a bruise on my knee all week because some girl kept kneeing me. I know it’s not cause she likes me because she was kneeing anybody that came near her when the ball was near by. I don’t remember how many goals had been scored when we finished but it was 3 crotches to 4 faces when we finally quit. As one of the crotches I can say with authority that we didn’t win.

I didn’t score any goals. Here’s why:


The girls club Frisbee team was stretching/practicing behind the goal I was shooting at. A little distracting to say the least.

Below are some more pictures from soccer. They are all from water break because I was too busy getting kneed and hit in other areas of the body during play to take pictures.

I do have to mention that I’m writing this while I’m at Pete’s Night of Crafty-ness. It’s the knitting ring that I started a few years back. I’ll write more about that later…

What Up Chris!!

Don’t Hate Me Cause My Pictures Are Beautiful

You have to read that like Fabio. I don't know if that came across well.

Well, I finally entered the 20th century. I bought a digital camera. I don’t want to say where I bought it because a certain friend of mine doesn’t like the company. But I can probably tell you because India is blocking blogspot for some ridiculous reason. It’s probably because of Dave’s blog. It has all his crazy talk about HIV and peace and c%$#%#ms. So, I can tell you that I bought the camera at Best Buy. She doesn’t like Best Buy because she tried to buy a camera there while signing up for a Credit Card with them. But the screwed it all up and I think it did something to her credit. I learned her lesson and skipped getting the credit card with them. It’s a Sony and it takes pictures and videos. I took some pictures around the house and they looked good. I haven’t done any videos yet. I’m going to take it to soccer tomorrow and take some pictures and maybe video and see how it comes out. With this camera I can take tons of pictures and show them to everyone, posting them on the internet for all to see. I just have to remember to bring it with me.
