An old friend from high school recently found me on Myspace. In the process of getting reacquainted, she informed me that I was the only person who ever dumped her. Sadly, I hadn't even remembered dating her. Apparently this was 9th grade. But she wrote:

Reminds me of the vanity license plate my dad had when I was a kid. It was all blue and sparkley, and in swirly cursive writing it said "SUPER JEW." No shit. That is a 100% true story. And you wonder why I'm such a mess?

Quick Boise race report:

Ramsey lapped the field with Clarke and Rollin. Toyota took over for the last 30 minutes and set tempo, while Tom, Stoop and I looked after Dan. Dan took the $500 gambler's prime with 3 to go, Tom and I sprinted and were 4th and 6th, while Dan was 3rd, and Stoop was 18th! Our second NRC podium in 2 weeks. Now I'm leading the USA Crit Series, and we made almost 4 grand.

BOO-YA!
