Bermuda Triangle

I don't know what's going on.

Since last week I have not been able to find my helmet, toe warmers, or my croc-like (but not crocs) rubber sandals, you know, the kind you wear with socks.  In the interim I have been reduced to using my old Bell helmet which is now my son's, letting my toes swell as they freeze, and walking around in socks.  The biggest pet peeve of a close friend of mine is walking around in socks and then stepping in a wet spot.  Nice.

The perplexing problem is that I know these three things have somehow been swallowed up and are somewhere in the house, chortling gleefully at me as I walk past, mumbling about my lack of recall.  I will one day find them, though they will inevitably be in the last place I look.

More proof that someone is reading this dreck:  a friend of mine emailed me at work to find out just where he can get an arepa press to enjoy some corn-ey Venezuelan goodness.  If you look here, Oster offers a 6 shooter as opposed to my adequate but clearly not as stylish quad model.

This insanely engaging post is brought to all four of you courtesy of a rest day on the biciclette.  Two hard days ahead and some easy spinning before my cyclocross preseason officially begins at the Tysons Corner Circuit Race.  Only 6 months 'til Charm City.......

Did you ask the little lady or the kids? If so then time to call in the professionals...a search and rescue operation is required....start at one room until its cleared then go to the next....

Boys:

Still no sign of the mysterious "things". I actually did lose my glasses, but this was about 5 months ago at a 'cross race in Leesburg, a place where I also lost my will to endure the race and called it a day earlier then planned. So the sunnies aren't new....

Arepas and beans, excellent. Arepas and Gu, not so much.
