happy birthday to me

i guess i'll use that as an excuse for accidently skipping a week (ok 13 days) of posting lol. in the meantime, lance armstrong has put on an impressive veteran performance of staying near the front by simply riding really good and not making any mistakes. he hit the alps today and pounced like a tiger onto the lead after intentionally relinquishing it early in the race. i found this crazy interactive about him and if it's true, it's astounding.

kg's been rolling with the posts on his website and he's been getting more comments - i think it has something to do with those nice little "i've posted!" alerts :-) jg even got converted over to the wonders of mt too!

as for me, i've just been doing the same ol' same ol' except that i stayed home a couple of days last week with a sick jake and i went to a bible study on friday nite that turned out really well. saturday i helped lead a men's breakfast and workday at church and i had a blast cooking breakfast.

my parents are coming to visit soon (dad 7/25-8/1; mom 8/5-9) and we're all really excited.
