Many things
We are in Baton Rouge for the upcoming wedding of Maureen and Greg. I am excited; it should be fun as lots of people are coming into town for said wedding. Always nice to see friends.
The Tour continues to have it's issues. I just knew something was going to go down with Rasmussen. It seemed like every day his story got sketchier and sketchier. I do like all three of the people now in the lead though, so hopefully one of them will make it happen. Cadel and Levi are pretty decent time trialists, so I'm curious to see how well Contador can do, and if he can hang on.
While it is annoying that there are still cheaters to catch, I do think it is good that people are getting caught. I am also glad that the riders seem to be actively speaking out against everything. It isn't just, "I don't dope, leave me alone." Now there actually seems to be a dislike of the practice and the people who do it.
Tom Boonen gave me another reason to think he is awesome. Check out this quote:
Vino is a dirty cheat who they ought to suspend for his lifetime. He is causing immense damage to everyone. There are so many teams in search of a new sponsor. This case will not make it easier.
Tornado Tom does not mince words; awesome.
On the work front I'm trying to finish up some stuff to send off to Harrick today. My inlaws now have a wireless router, so that makes working from the house a lot more feasible. We will be heading out to Hawaii in two weeks from tomorrow. Pretty crazy. I still need to do my talk!
There were several things that occurred that I did not blog about. I went down to San Antonio to compete in an autocross event again, but this time I brought the Accord and raced it. It was a lot of fun, but I still have much improving to do.
We went to Merri Su and Brian's wedding. It was a very nice affair in the hill country.
Carrie and I saw Harry Potter and Ocean's 13 one weekend. I immensely enjoyed both movies, but I a sucker for both of those franchises.
On the subject of the HP, Carrie and I went get a book on Friday night, and she finished on Saturday night. I have yet to start the book, so I am eagerly awaiting starting it and quickly finishing it when I get back to Austin.
I really need to start riding my bike again. I know I sound like a broken record, but it's getting out of hand. With the upcoming trip to Hawaii and the associated work with that, it is going to be tough to make myself schedule the time for riding. But, those are all just excuses. If I really want to do it there should be no reason why I can't.

doper
Vino... what a tool. I had respected the guy for riding through his injuries, but now he's just a stupid cheat.
