Happy Track-Day!

Well, I lucked out and got into my first Motorcycle Track day of the year yesterday. I got to ride with some friends up at Mid-Ohio Race Course. They just repaved it this year and it is pretty nice. Unfortunately someone had to screw it up right off the bat. There was a rider in the first group that went out, and leaked oil over about half the track! We had to sit around and wait about an hour and a half for the track crew to clean it up. But, once they did we were rolling! I entered the Novice class for this first track day because I wanted to work on just getting my confidence back. After last year's wreck in turn 1 I was still pretty timid, but by the end of the day I was right back in my groove. Okay, I was still pretty sketchy on my left turns, and was definately not hanging off as much as my right. But I was really feeling more confident.

Today I woke up with a sun-burned face and two very, very sore legs! I think some folks got some pictures though, so I'll get those up asap.

Scientology

Can someone please explain to me why it's called "Scientology"? It seems like Science is the last thing on their minds, unless you count Science-Fiction as Science.

"It all began 75 million years ago. Back then, there was a galactic federation of planets which was ruled over by the evil Lord Xenu. Xenu thought his galaxy was overpopulated, and so he rounded up countless aliens from all different planets, and then had those aliens frozen. The frozen alien bodies were loaded on to Xenu's galactic cruisers, which looked like DC-8s, except with rocket engines. The cruisers then took the frozen alien bodies to our planet, Earth, and dumped them into the volcanoes of Hawaii. The aliens were no longer frozen, they were dead. The souls of those aliens, however, lived on, and all floated up towards the sky. But the evil Lord Xenu had prepared for this. Xenu didn't want their souls to return, and so he built giant soul catchers in the sky. The souls were taken to a huge soul brain-washing facility, which Xenu had also built on Earth. There the souls were forced to watch days of brain-washing material, which tricked them into believing a false reality. Xenu then released the alien souls, which roamed the Earth aimlessly in a fog of confusion. At the dawn of man, the souls finally found bodies which they could grab on to. They attached themselves to all mankind, which still, to this day, causes all of our fears, our confusions and our problems."

The REALLY crazy thing is, you have to pay to hear all of this!

Great News! It's a Zygote!

Yup, it finally happened! I've infected my wife, with a BABY!

Yes, that's right, we found out last night that my wife is indeed pregnant. If everything goes to plan, the mini-me will be here December 8th. I will confess, I was scared to death for the first 20 minutes, but now I'm really stoked! Now I finally get to use that sacred phrase, "Because I said so, that's why!"

This is going to be sooo much fun!
