Buy My House

We've run out of room in our great little starter-home that we've loved for the past 6 years. Just like hitting the drive-thru at Micky-D's, we've supersized our living space with the purchase of a palatial estate just a few miles north (by palatial estate I mean a bigger house). We are now left with two mortgages so our little gem with great location must go.

A friend and I have just put together a web site that sings the praises of my newly listed property. Stop by and check it out...be sure to scope the built-in grill on the back patio that I built a couple of years ago...great for entertaining!

As a self-professed critic of Cycing kits, this is an exciting time of the year. The pro teams are holding their team training camps and new kits are being distributed.

My first observation of the year is the new Columbia kits. I do like the fact that this organization has finally incorporated the shorts and the jersey in the same design (as opposed to a jersey with plain black short; see T-Mobile, Highroad and last years Columbia kits).

Unfortunately they have adopted a kit that looks way too much like the now defunct Sanuier Duval team. I'm guessing it has a lot to do with their new bike sponsor, Scott Bikes, but I wish they could've been more original.

I also prefer ProTour teams steer away from mainly yellow kits as it adds confusion to picking out riders in the peloton at the Tour de France. Once, who had a very yellow kit, used to switch to a pink jersey at the TdF but teams nowadays aren't required to follow Once's lead.

Lastly, I'm not a fan of the "faux abs" printed on the abdominal area of the jersy. It was cool and original when CSC did it a few year back, but once again...where's the originality?

On a 10pt. scale, I'll give it a 7
