I want to wish you a happy birthday. I see birthdays as a celebration of life and living so in our case birthdays are extra special so go out there and celebrate the day you came to be. Actually we have two birthdays, our biological one and the one I like to call our “Re-birthday”. Have a wonderful day.
Haven't been riding as much as I like because it's too COLD! (I'm such a wimp.) Anyway, I was in the Treasure Island Tri by doing the bike leg of the relay. It was lots of fun!
Merry Christmas to you and Julia!
