bike commute
Well, no more bike commute to work for me. I got my third theft yesterday - this time the handlebars. I'm giving up on the 'security' of our prestigious downtown DC office building parking garage. If I do ride to work I'll try locking it up to a meter within sight of my office window, once I get replacements made again. Grrr.
I broke down and went to an ear/nose/throat specialist this morning to have him take a look at my tonsils. The regularly look like giant strawberries in the back of my throat, and feel like an extra tounge or two. It's been plaguing me since childhood, and they either contribute to illness or get more inflamed as a result. The doc tells me they should go, and probably should have long ago. Since my summer is somewhat free, I'm going to take advantage of the time, probably over 4th of July to get it done and recover. I'm told it takes longer for an adult to recover from it than it takes for kids. Y'all bring me ice cream and applesauce, ya hear! It sounds gruesome, but I'm actually looking forward to it. There's just so much of me that some of it has to get removed. I'll see if the nurse can take digital cam pics that I'll post for all of you.
The final word on low-carb diets from Dr. Jocko. I'll have to say, regardless of diet trend pressure, I find it very hard to give up my toast, cereal, pancakes and PBJs.

My friend Kelley had to have her tonsils taken out a few years ago, and I was surprised then that it was outpatient surgery. It took her about a week to recover.

It is odd, but I actually saw a guy walking down 17th yesterday with a bookbag and a set of handlebars. I thought it was mighty odd. He was young, tall, black. Had the kind of face that could spoil fresh milk.

Nope, can't bring the bike up into the office.
Matt...are our destinies intertwined in regards to criminal incidents?

I just knew my meat cravings were not, in fact, unhealthy...

Sadly not where lewd and lascivious behaviours are concerned. All this talk of bikes is bringing memories of a time back in Germany when I was riding home late from the discothek with a friend on the seat (me standing) and we were very drunk--he reached around, pulled out my dick, and gave me a handjob all the way home.
