Word Of The Week

I'm not going to go into too much detail. I just had a realization about something while I was riding my bike at around 25 MPH down Central Expressway this afternoon. Then I ran into an old friend at REI(the same one who I ran into at the Death Ride). I heard a remarkable story about how the greeter at REI broke her foot (Mount Everest and yetis were involved!). I had my second McDonald's sandwich of the year this morning. I had better BBQ in Mountain View at lunchtime than anything I had in Texas. Random? Perhaps. But what if they aren't? And is that a hand that I feel pushing me through my life?
