Angelique and I headed north to ‘The Fields’ in Broadview Heights (Cleveland) on Sunday for a little cyclocross action. The locals said the had 10†of snow Thursday, and Saturday/Sunday it warmed up to about 50 degrees. You know what that means! SLOP. There was a technical singletrack section that was more like a creek then a trail and the grass sections were so soft you would sink in some spots 4 or 5 inches. Tough racing conditions. I raced in the B’s and got 13th, not bad. Here’s a few photos.

I tried to catch this guy, but he always pulled away on the single track section. bastard!
Post race slumber.
deedee ramone callie allie sutrisno johnson. my mom hasn’t seen this girl yet. deedee’s an odd sort. she likes to kiss people! on the lips! it’s quite alarming. she also likes to lay on one’s chest while they are watching tv. her fluffiness almost obscures the television. here she is demonstrating the technique with andy:
so my mom sent us a package of goodies. it was a very nice surprise. it was filled to the brim with stuff that i like. pajama pants, dish towels, ya know… good things. she included a toy for carlos and deedee, and it’s a big hit. feathers are always winners.

So I seriously think cyclocross is the greatest thing since my mom introduced me to peanut butter/lettuce and mayo sandwiches, so yummy and so good! but I always wonder why. I’ll try my hand at a list:
Ya get it? maybe these great looking pictures from the San Fransisco Grand Prix will help.

now: 
guess it’s hard to see there, since andy’s buggin’ him and it’s tough to see carlos’ full girth.
i was looking through some “old” photos… i don’t know if it’s clear here, but carlos has grown into a massive dude. here is carlos in october of 2004, just a few days after andy picked him up from the cornfield:
and he here is nowadays, november of 05:
we’re still collecting valuable deedee shots. but for now, here’s one of her gettin’ down with some fresh catnip:
i was checking my favorite blog, design*sponge, and she had a link to a funny online quiz, called “mod or fraud?” it has 16 photos and it asks you to choose if it’s actually old, or if it’s new and just “retro.” thankfully, i got a pretty good score. i got 2 or 3 wrong; and they were stupid mistakes. i should have spent a little more time, but alas… also try the “swiss, swedish, danish or dutch?” quiz. it’s absolutely hilarious and hard. didn’t so hot on that one!
andy gets freaked out by peggy moffitt.
