Thank you Beth for the compliment on my last name (Landis). Proverbs 22:1 states that a good name is to be chosen rather than great riches. I believe this is very true and have always taught my children such. I would never want them to be caught up in anything which may tarnish it. Although I am not Jewish by faith and don't have much information regarding the origin of my family I have the utmost admiration for Israel and her struggles and triumphs throughout history. I hope to visit this land of miracles some day.

Thanks Beth, I appreciate it.

Haha, Caleb can bring his DS if he has one. My kids don't have video games yet. And I will rent a movie for everyone to watch or go to Barnes and Noble. I love playing with the kids.

Beth, if you need a sitter for Friday night ride, let me know. I can watch your son with my kids. No problem!

That ride is going to be a true test of my stamina or lack there of. I have a few things going on afterwards so I'm not super excited about Saturday but I don't feel comfortable doing with w/o the group.

I'm not doing Blackstar this Fri. Going to ride Saturday instead.
I'll be at Kristine's ride tomorrow. How about you?

It's posted. I know J_Sims said that he'll show up to keep the tradition going. Who knows.......I may show up w/ the geared bike and ride up at a more mellow pace. Did you get your new light?

Yes, I'm going to......just haven't had a chance to do so. I likely won't be able to make since I have a party to attend up here and DH racing at Vail Lake.

thanks. Are you riding Blackstar on Friday?

Your welcome... And... I'm sorry!!
