OUT OF THE STARTING GATE

Took Lisa to go see "Seabiscuit" last night. Excellent movie, better book. It's an inspirational story. I thought about how this old horse came back so often as I embarked on a bicycle ride early today around the neighborhood. I'm out of shape and my bike is in worse shape than I thought.
The neighborhood still has too many hills (it's all coming back to me now).

If we stick with a horse metaphor, I'm no where near Seabiscuit...I'm probably closer to Alpo.

I'll have to get the bike worked on a bit before I can do any serious riding...it's still too hot to ride most days anyway.

Anyone in South Texas can sympathize with this guy
