We got roses for our anniversary and they’re now decorating our kitchen. Aren’t they lovely?
You know how it is. You decide to take pictures and then someone has to be goofy about it. And then someone else laughs at the goofiness and then just encourages the instigator. It’s an old story. It happened to us last night. I took the extra photos and made a little slideshow.
We saw this guy last night after dinner while we were out for ice cream.
This is Valerio Zamboni. He's been riding across America, from the California coast through the Sierra mountains, the Arizona desert, the Rockies, Kansas and, tonight, here.
He's nine days in. He'll finish @RAAMRaces on the 23rd, having pedaled 3000 miles, climbed 170,000 feet. pic.twitter.com/sIUnm7ieao

It's an incredible race: 30 percent longer than the professional grand tours. No hotels, no stopped clocks, just always forward. They've written books about it. They should sing songs.
