View From the Bushes

Well the bad news is that the next adventure still isn't ready. I hate to give excuses, though that doesn't mean that I won't. I find that whining can sometimes take the edge of and be humorous to boot. Basically my back has been giving me a lot of grief, I've been sitting in front of a computer way too much. Okay that's not really all that funny. The idea that my massive head may be causing my neck and back problems is at least vaguely funny.

In any case another distraction is of course the Tour de France. If you're curious Velonews.com has some great coverage. In paticular they have a rider diary being done by Tyler Hamilton. Tyler crashed in stage one, and I can only imagine (assuming that he still posts to the diary) what kind of perspective we'll get of trying to compete in the tour with a broken clavical. I could spend the next few pages talking about the tour, but I'm guessing that is not why people read View from the Bushes.

I realized a while ago that since switching over to the new software I hadn't been including my traditional sign off phrase. "Carpe Diem, Quam Minimum Credula Postero." Lots of people have asked me what that means. First off it's a quote from Horace. Everyone knows what Carpe Diem means, but the entire phrase can be translated as, "Sieze the present day, trusting the morrow as little as possible." I use that because it's one of those things that I'm really bad at.
