Well, here it is, a beautiful Labor Day in North Carolina. The hurricane weather has decided to chill out long enough to let come to the surface a cool, sunny day. Work is done, and as I drove home, the smell of grilling was everywhere. There’s nothing I’d love more than to be sitting out on the front deck knocking some back, and letting the afternoon usher in a night of revelry to help celebrate the passing of another humid, shitty summer.
But I’m sick. So’s my girl. I’m watching the Dog Whisperer Marathon, and Allison’s taking a nap. So, whatever. Sometimes you win. Sometimes you have a great time on an inconsequential holiday such as this one. Other times, you let it pass by and just wait till the next one comes. No biggie, I just wish it were time to get hammered.
Hey – at least I didn’t send Jonny another picture of me in a jockstrap.
It’s Labor Day.
Workers of the World, Get on a bike.
You have nothing to shift but your chains.
(sorry, socialism don’t hang single speed,you bourgeoisie trash)

And on an unrelated note, how about that Tyler Hamilton, Red, White and Blue… that man always was a bad ass and still is.
I feel you, dude. Its Labor Day, no school, no work, but there is a tube coming out of my back, directly connected to my kidney, emptying into a bag strapped to my fuckin leg. What a glorious day! The doctors said a golf ball sized kidney stone wasn’t good so I went ahead with the surgery, last fuckin thursday, and I’m still down! I’ve never been more angry in my life! At least there’s college football…
Damn Son.
At least you don’t have to pass that stone.
…bg_c…they always said you were a man w/ some stones…now we know…hah !!!…glad yer alright, dude…
…& whether tyler ever copped to it or not, i think the man paid a price, so as i was following the break, online, i was cheering for the man & i’m glad he & micheal ball’s ‘rock racing’ will be defending the stars & stripes jersey for the next year…
Fair enough. Hamilton, on the slow climb of redemption.
…it’s obviously been an ugly time for cycling, both w/ the usage & the continued exposure…but it was a time when probably the majority were aided by “something”…
…now hopefully the trend towards clean riding by a lotta the new, younger guys will set a trend towards honesty in the peloton…there will always be some guys who wanna cheat cuz it’s the only way they see themselves succeeding in cycling or in life…
…but i gotta think that a guy like hamilton has enough of a conscience that no matter what justification he used in the past, he knows now that if he’s gonna do it, he’s gotta do it right…
…then again, look at saunier duval’s “ricci richardo” in the tour…
