Prelude to Praha….we’re out bitches!!!!

Today is our final Saturday before we leave on the 30th….Moni is standing in line at Willow Bend to get us our new Iphones…and I’m on the way to the clinic because I think I may have a touch of the flu…

We are over the top excited for this trip…no more cycling for us until we meet up with our group in Praha (get used to it that’s what they call it).

My head is spinning with what lies ahead…Prague to Budapest…physical challenge, emotional experiences, castles, disturbing history, great beer, and new friends.

I’m taking my Czech literary friends with me (if you don’t know who these people are…you really should pick up a book sometime:P Hoping to understand Kundera’s ‘Unbearable Lightness of Being” at a deeper level. I will definitely be going on the Kafka literary walks in Prague, and my favorite Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke will definitely color my perspective.

We have booked some tours and the rest we will free form it. Still need a few last minute errands and surviving work Monday and Tuesday…

Moni and I have been discussing our “ways” of traveling together and I think we are both prepared to be loose and flex to each others styles (ok I am…she is PMS’ing right now). She will still complain and moan which is ok as long as she doesn’t try to talk to me at 5 a.m. I will work on my “full of it” confidence? I think that’s a good descriptor. Don’t worry James, I will definitely describe the experience of biking with Moni…kudos to her as she has definitely calmed down the SPAZ factor. Just breathe…stay calm…and go slow…

We will post when we can…no worries…we’re out! Norma

WE'LL ALWAYS HAVE PARIS


i was in Paris this weekend...Paris, Texas that is...we did this cycling gig called tour de paris...james did the 70 miler and norma and i did the 46 miler...i really had a good time...the city of paris did a great job of having the rest stations manned w/snacks and drinks...afterwards in the school gym we hung out...had massages (my poor legs cramped during the last 10 miles) and ate cheeseburgers...it was very organized and totally the opposite of the dallas gig we did a couple of months ago...also, and this is a big plus...i did not cause injury to myself or anyone else...the spaz factor has gone waaaaaaayyyyy down...i am without a doubt sure that i can do my 30 miles plus every day during my trip to europe...i've worked hard over the last year to get myself in shape to do this gig...now, i'm not saying i'm not going to whine and bitch during this vacation...that's just my charming way...i would hate to read norma's blog during this time...james of course can't wait to read what she'll post...he knows what hell it is to live with me and put up with my whining...i intend to try and find a computer that i can blog and let everyone know wassup during this trip...that's all i got!

71 AND STILL WATCHING PORN!!!
