I see London, I see France.....

Does it get any trller than wine and a baguette at the Eiffel Tower at night with your spouse? Well, maybe the triple lindy is triller, but that's about it.


Any who, after being stranded in Chicago for 2 days, Kristen and I managed to make it to Europe. First, London for a day, then the train to Paris for 3, then back to London for 3. I really wish I had my bicycle for the trip. There is a following there that is nuts!


















Heck, sometimes I just like to ponder the things in life....













And of course, the London eye.
Of all the places I've been outside the country, London is definitely one that I could live in. Perhaps I will be back next year.
Cheers,
JB

Oh wow



So people send me all kinds of pictures, videos, quotes and such all the time. However, this kid was sent to me on Friday, and it creeps me out.

In Final Four news, I'm quite happy that Michigan is in the finals. Since Minnesota couldn't make it out of the first round, and North Dakota and Wisconsin didn't fair well either, Michigan is the closest thing to a "home team".

So my plans to bike for a while today was thwarted by this snow.
Dear March,
Wow, I'm not quite sure how to say this. We had a good run. But I have to be honest. It's not you, it's me. Really. We were nothing more than a spring fling. I was in a strange place in my life, and you only come around once a year. Oh who am I kidding, you and I were never meant for each other. I enjoy bikes and running outside. You're all about cloudy days and lingering snow. I think it's best for us to part ways and move on. Sorry. We'll still be friends right? I'll still keep you on my calender--I promise.

Dear end of April weather,
How you doin'? giggity!

So if all goes to plan, in two weeks I'll be sitting in jolly old England sipping tea and crumpets. I'll be picking up my new camera this week so I can actually take some decent pictures while in Europe.

Jay Culter a Bear?? I was really bummed when he left Denver, hopefully this works for him.

Stupid Yankees beat the Cubs......

I can't wait for the baseball season to get into full swing. Thankfully the Twins will be out of that dome at the end of the regular season (because they have no shot at the playoffs this year).

I'm slowly planning a scheme. I mean the kind of scheme that takes 6 people sitting around a dimly lit round table with blueprints in the middle. The kind of scheme that will allow me to yell "45 seconds left" during the act. The kind of scheme that needs 6 people with odd traits to pull off (the tech guy, the muscle, the brains, the guy with an eye patch). Mostly, I just want to climb around in some heating ducts with a helmet flashlight, wearing all black. I've been watching too many movies......

Peace out.
