- I went for a run for the first time in a dog’s age today. Put in a little over 3.5 miles at 11 minutes a mile. Not so good, but not that bad for a 28 year old with an arthritic knee, a 9 month old, and a year plus of mostly sedentary living. My knee hurts, but the weather is beautiful.
- What the hell, man. When I come to the cash register to purchase my item, all I want to do is exchange money for product and get the hell out of your store. I do not:
- have the store credit card;
- want the store credit card;
- and will not give you my phone number/zip code;
- want to search around for another item that will enable me to save $5 while spending $10 more; and
- care about the customer satisfaction survey that I can fill out online or by phone that will enable me to get an additional 10% off my purchase of $50 or more within the next five days.
- Went to a show at Now That’s Class. Wishing the hip hop scene was bigger or more easily accessible, not sure which it needs to be.
- I was excited that the generic brand of instant oatmeal was on super sale.
- I’m planning on building a road bike again this summer, hopefully I’ll actually get to do it. The first order of business is finding a 62-64cm early-80s steel frame from the Ohio City Bike Coop. Somehow I don’t think a frame that size is going to be easy to come by.

And “more” looking to sell of course.
Thanks for the tips! It wasn’t at Dick’s, we were at some women’s clothing store. The Limited, I think.
I have to make a guess — was the checkout at Dick’s Sporting Goods? They hassle the crap outta me.
Mitch at Shaker Cycle built me up a bike, I think a 61cm frame. He’s worth checking with as well, if you have a couple hours to spare. You can also search by frame size and distance from your zip on ebay, and in this economy I bet ore are looking to sell.
