I'm going to play because I am a narcissist and need to share random crap about myself or I will explode.

Answers to your questions: 1) I blog because I must. 2) my favorite meal is grilled fish, brown rice and spinach with too much butter. 3) I will give a sports-related accomplishment of which I am most proud...winning the trials to represent the US in the 1991 Pan American Games. 4) my favorite subject in school was a tie between french and geometry. 5) my favorite sport is rowing. 6) my favorite team ... hard to say... maybe the 1927 Yankees. 7) chocolate chips and raisins and cashews and almonds all mixed in a cup. 8) I was 34. 9) charcoal. 10) May! 11) February.

Thanks so much for allowing me an additional forum to talk about myself :) Can I interest you in an XLBand, yet?

I always like reading these things, getting little bits of random. I need to do this tonight for Jason @ CTER.

Mike, the number '8' is considered good luck in Chinese culture because the word for 8 sounds like Fā 发 which means 'wealth' in Chinese.

Many Chinese, including my cousin, got married on 08.08.08 since it was considered an exceptionally lucky date.

I'm with ya on a vacation on the beach that doesn't end!! When you figure out how to financially do that, please let me know!! :)

Your dream vacation and mine sound a lot alike :) But mine has to have some good running places too :))

I have never tried belega socks, but I hear they are awesome!

Also, funny about the silver, gold, platinum, bike :)
I know a jeweler who started riding to stop his addiction to alcohol. He figures he dumps less into a 6,000- 10,000$ bike now than he did in alcohol each year. :) That's his justification for new gear :)

Maybe I need to develop a drinking problem so that my husband would prefer my biking problem. :)

Hey, I can finally comment on your blog. Maybe bc I'm on my school computer rather than Explorer at home. Whatever.

Anyway, cool list. I knew parts of this. I'm surprised you didn't include your vast talent in backing up cars with bikes on the rack. ;-) Pretty sure Jeff would be with you on the pet thing, and I totally agree on your #1, but I'd prefer a cross bike to a tri bike (for now).
