Courage Classic

It not too early to start thinking about riding next year. ( I know, its still November!)
I emailed the people at multi care and got the registration form for 2009 courage classic.
I am planning on riding next year. It was such a blast in 2006.
The reason for announcing this so far in advance is the pledge minimum is $400.00.
If you would like to support me in this ride please feel free, I would really appreciate it.
I guess this begs the question, when does training begin?

Weekend is here

busy week this week. lots to do at work before the holliday season arrives
next week I have a 3 day work week! yahoo. Becca and I will celebrate black Friday by decorating the house for Christmas. We will avoid the holiday shoppers, but then again I wonder, how many people will be out shopping?

Becca and I are going on a dinner date, Costco pizza tonight! its cheap and convenient. afterward we'll go walk around the store and window shop. Say, you always wanted a floor length Faux fur coat, and I could use a mini boat and trailer.... only at Costco..... =)

I have invited Rebecca over for Thanksgiving dinner I hope she can make it.
The more the merrier.

We have Christmas music to practice for church choir. I am just glad that this year i get to participate in the service. Sitting in the pews listening to the choir sing is the alternative, and that usually puts me to sleep. =)

at the Movies Online Review sites

I just went to the movies this past weekend. and a company that sells tickets online is soliciting my ratings and review of the movie. I liked the movie, well enough to want to rent the prequel. but I am not going to tell the movie community what I really thought about the movie. I am irritated at the ticket sales company because of their practices. Here is how it works. I, the movie goer want to see a movie. the first weekend it comes out, and its a pretty hot ticket, so I want to make sure i get a ticket, rather than risk not getting a ticket, I buy it online the morning of, or the day before. and I I pay a small fee for easing my risk of not seeing the movie I want, when I want. Lookiing at it another way, The ticket and sales companies now can calculate attendances and know what to plan for. Fine, you get your buck and a quarter for my piece of mind.
the problem is. I just got an email asking for my opinion about the movie. As much as i would like to give it. It does come at a price. its actually not that much, probably even less than a startbucks coffee. and a little more than a candy bar. Its, yep, you guessed it, a buck twenty five for this little gem of information. so please do give me a call or email me and I can let you know where to send the check. and I'll gladly hand over another piece of my mind.
