itriharder: Queen Songs; Mr. Feeney, Take Me Away; A Chance to Win

Part 1: Queen Songs

I WANT TO RIDE MY BICYCLE, I WANT TO RIDE MY BIKE.

BICYCLE, BICYCLE!

Oh, how I miss my bicycle...

As I drove to teach Pilates this morning, I couldn't help by notice all of the bicycles on the road. I chuckled to myself as I remembered how much cyclists used to irritate me as a driver. Ughhhh they always ride in the middle of the road! They ride in packs and you basically have to stop if a car is coming your direction. Well, that's just what happens on the back roads of Oregon. When I became a cyclist, my entire outlook changed.

My accident was posted on Edhat. Many people blamed the cyclist (me) for the accident, assuming I had gone without stopping when it must have been the driver's turn. No, indeed, that was not the situation. It upset me at first because I am a very cautious cyclist. Then I realized, people are going to think what they want to think. Nothing I said was going to make them respect me as a cyclist, so I let it be.

I miss cycling though. I miss the pain of climbing a big hill, the feeling of wind trying to knock me off my bike and the taste of bugs plastered to my teeth. Many of my friends are competing in Kendra's Tri and Oceanside IM 70.3 today while I stand here on one leg writing this blog. Poor, pitiful me, right? No, actually, I know I will come back strong. I now have so much desire to come back stronger that I think I will be more in tune with my body and will strive to be stronger, faster and more fit than I was before. I had my three weeks of fun; I'm ready to get back to being a bad donkey.

Part 2: Mr. Feeney, Take Me Away

I logged onto Facebook this morning and my beautiful Wyoming "wife" had posted this on our group site:

So I was watching Boy Meets World this morning (obviously the best show ever) and Mr Feeny was going to retire Jackson Hole but Eric was super upset about it and this is what Mr Feeny said about Wyoming: "People take the time to enjoy gods beautiful landscape. They stop to appreciate their quiet surroundings and contemplate on what life is all about."

Mr Feeny knows whats up.

I've been thinking about and missing Wyoming a lot lately. This is so true about Wyoming and that's why I must return soon. Thank you, Mr. Feeney!
