Must be a heck of a distraction
May 27th, 2009 
Chris Doelle For the first time in at least a dozen or more years, the first of the Grand Tours (cycling’s big three races) has came and nearly gone without my noticing. Usually, the Giro d’Italia is my warm-up to the Tour de France. Often the drama is more riveting and, at times, the performances are more [...]
New term added to my lexicon

May 17th, 2009 Chris Doelle A very close friend and I were talking about the subject of “getting butterflies” from a relationship. We were discussing how it is common for those to go away after the initial excitement of a relationship wanes. It was my contention however, that they do not have to end.
