That's right! Target proudly presents blow-up doll humor for any occasion. This is only a sample of the cards you can choose from on your next shopping excursion. I have to admit that these are quite possibly the most entertaining cards I have seen in awhile and I would buy one in a second. I mean the card contains at least five stages of humor: 1. There are blow-up dolls that you are supposed to relate to. 2. There is some witty little line about the blow-up doll scene. 3. The satire emerges. 4. You can't believe what you are seeing. 5. It sets in...there are blow-up dolls on a greeting card. I approve.

After you are done reading this fabulous story from the July road trip be sure to click on the title for a special surprise. So if you ever find yourself driving through Nebraska on I-80 be sure to stop at King Kong Burger! I believe this is a one of a kind gem in the middle of nowhere, well actually just East of Lincoln. From the highway just look for the giant King Kong in the sky. Once you arrive, you can enjoy all the wonderful gorilla decor, including a Gorilla band which looks like a knockoff of the Chuck E Cheese animatronic version still haunting my childhood. After you have settled into the "jungle" and absorbed the ridiculous extent of which this theme has been applied to the restaurant, you can take a look at their amazing menu. Ryan and I came back to this place for their huge Gyros, but the Kong's smallest burger comes in at 1/2 pound with the range ending at the King Kong with some insane amount of pulverized cow overwhelming the little bun. After eating ...

We made it through the last three weeks of racing. We are on the way home today, Chicago-Colorado Springs stat! Details and pictures to come.

A Scene From the Road Cresent Beach, OR Last night, Ryan and I competed in the FSA Grand Prix Madison. It was the culmination to a long day as the race started at about 11pm after 4 hours of other events had concluded. There were 13 teams in the 80 lap race, 32km, and overall the race was pretty quite with few attacks. Our strategy for the race was to stay with the top teams and sprint for the points which were every ten laps. There were about six good teams all keeping the race going, our strategy paid off and with 30 laps to go we were tied for first! At this point things started getting tough. I was feeling really bad with an upset stomach, probably the worst I have ever felt in a madison. Not really sure what caused this but at the same time I ran out of energy. So the last 30 laps was a game of me trying to hang on and Ryan keeping us as close to the front as possible. Yet again our nemesis of the season the Fuji/Salamander guys caught some luck and were able to jump in fr...

Hello again from Puget Sound! I don't know if the picture is any good, I mean taking pics of hte sunset with a camera phone is not a good idea. But there was an awesome sunset last night when we were playing Bocce Ball after dinner. We have not talked in almost a month! I really cannot believe it, but ever since 4th of July things have not slowed down. Finally I am finding some time on the road to write a bit. So to fill everyone in, the 4th of July followed just like the last few years, with wonderfull afternoon storms wreaking the day! After an 8 hour rain delay we finally started racing. And needless to say I was mentally wrecked by that point. So not one of the best memories, but we got through it. Now we are on the road and almost half way through the road trip of CA-OR-WA-IL-MI. Last weekend we race down in San Jose, and ended up having a really good Madison missing out on first place by only 2 points,17 to 19. Tonight we start another weekend of racing at the Marym...
