All serious and stuff. This post is not about drinking, the Weather Channel or my husband's band. Nor is it about my drinking problem or lack thereof.
We rode a Century Ride last year and raised over $7000 for TnT, the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. Yep, we rode 100 miles. And that was in ONE day. What? Yah, I know, we're insane. We plan on doing another Century Ride this November. Yes, we plan to raise over $8000 for this endeavor.
OK, I'm down with the ride. I did it before, on a mountain bike with slick tires, and I can do it again. (buying into the bravado? I am at 80%) The 4000 simolians apiece?? Help a brother out. That's a lot of cash-eesh. Anyway...
We were also selected as "mentors" for the team:
- One, we were willing.
- Two, we rode last year.
- Three, we will ride and raise funds this year.
- Four, we are social and willing to commiserate.
OK, no foolin' around. We're on board this year. Holy crap, we need to raise money, train and complete the ride. You know what? I love this cause, it's near and dear to my heart. I'm confident I can train....can I fundraise again??
Can I fundraise again?? Yeah, I think so. As we progress, more training details, less drinking details. OK? I hope you have the program. I hope I have the progam. Comments and smart ass remarks, that's up to you.

If you hit me up during college football season -- when I'm drunk about 90 percent of the time -- I'll probably be even more generous that I was last year.
And you thought you were so sneaky, blogwise ... I actually had been meaning to check out what Hell Pellet was, as I had been getting some referrals from there ... or, here, rather. Nice work; I'm impressed. The only thing that bothers me is that you've been doing this for two months and you already have a cooler template than my cheesy Blogger-Standard-Issue design ... golly, I wish I knew someone who was good with computers...
OK. More than a couple of months. Christ, I can be completely oblivious sometimes. Or, Bolivious, if you're Mike Tyson...
