The Internets

Attention ladies and gentlemen: my wife and I now have DSL!!! No more dial up! DSL rocks!

That's it. It's really late and I need to get off the computer.

Summer thoughts Part II

Hello all! Hope your summer break is going well. I've been biking up a storm lately. Feels really good to be out on the bike. Did the Tour de Blast up in Washington a couple of weeks ago. It was an amazing ride into the blast zone in and around Mt. St. Helens. Here's the link for the ride: www.tourdeblast.com

82 miles of beautiful scenery and great riding. I just watched my first night of Tour de France coverage at a friend's house with cable. I don't know if you've heard, but several top riders are not competing in the tour this year because of allegations of doping. The tour is wide open this year and I believe American rider Floyd Landis will win it.

My reality TV show of the summer is Hell's Kitchen. Check it out on Monday nights on Fox. Good stuff.

As far as the big summer movies, Superman Returns deserves 3 stars out of 5. Pirates 2 earns 2.5 stars. Great twist ending to that movie though. If anyone has 2 tickets to Pearl Jam at the Schnitz and would like to donate or sell them to your favorite history teacher, I would gladly take you up on that.

Okay, stay safe and keep your bikes upright at all times.

Carlisle out.
