Here's to 3. She's Daughter of the Day. Her life is getting a little more complicated. She's accepted a new position in Boston beginning in August. Right after Tahoe.2 is in the middle of the events to lead up to the closing on her new house. There may be a problem with the garage. It has a wall that may need some work. Its never easy.
I did a little 16+ ride tonight just to stretch the legs. Lots of riders out. Over the last seven days, my mileage has exceeded 150 miles. Which is getting me closer to where I need to be to make it up Mt. Rose.
The market has continued it's drift downward. Banks have been killed, as sellers are just abandoning the sector. Balance sheets may not matter as much as the business that you are in. Pretty hard to make investment choices. Cash is king. The shorts continue to rule.
For the record, in my circle of men friends, Pete's wide body is legendary.
Anyone have any thoughts on the term, "false front"? While Hollywood has it's definition, mine comes from golf and cycling. In golf, they will sometimes carve the front of a green in such a way that shots that might look good from the fairway, roll back off the front of the green and into a collection area that requires a delicate chip to get close to the hole.
In cycling, a false front is actually a false "flat" which is the last part of a climb where the hill flattens out from the steeper grade below, but that still requires effort to cross. In assents on the higher mountains, you can actually have sections that visually look to be going down, but actually still have gravity pulling you backwards. Mt. Rose has one of these near the top of the pass at the entry to the Rim Trail.
In architecture, and crosswords, a false front is called a facade. And in turn, in describing a person's public personna in perhaps difficult situations, an individual might put on a "good facade."
I'm sure that if a I kept going on this that I could come up with a baseball usage as well. Aren't our presumptive candidates now out there "pitching" to the various interest groups with their efforts to convince the electorate that they are each ready to "play ball" and save the world?
Is there anyone out there less interested in Brett Favre than me? I don't think so.
2 needs to order the shirts this week. Please give her some comments.
Hope everyone has a good evening.

so i like the idea of black or dark grey shirts. if we did black shirts, we should do a catchy, bold color like orange or green. if we go grey, we could still do one of those colors or yellow.
if we're going with the basic "FFF 08 Tahoe" for the lettering, we could do it to look like a stamp or branding. OR we could do some jingle slogan....on the road again...FFF 08. Incline Village, Lake Tahoe.
if we do a picture, we should keep it simple. like a silhouette. i'll try to make some stuff up in word and send it this afternoon. it is supposed to be so hot i won't be able to do much else.
what about stealing the logo of the mountains off coors light and using it?
i totally suggested stealing the coors mountains when we were at governors last week!
