i had the pleasure of spending this weekend in fayatteville, tx--a town so small, weather.com couldn't locate it when someone tried to figure out what the weather forecast was for the weekend. all of the texas 4000 riders descended upon this little town for a training camp this weekend. we had awesome weather and two great rides...in total this weekend, i had less dogs chase me than i had had chase me in a single 30 mile ride when i lived in san antonio this past summer...so as far as rides go, this weekend was pure bliss.
i also had the pleasure of having a slumber party with three boys and a dragon (get your head out of the gutter jakub). and at the risk of being a traitor...at slumber parties, boys stay up at night talking and giggling just like girls--only the topics of conversation don't revolve around boys as much as they revolve around recounting episodes of south park (which, evidently, i need to see more of). as for the presence of the dragon, i should explain further, but first a little background. we were staying at a bed & breakfast. now, this was the first bed & breakfast in the us that i'd ever stayed in, so i'm not sure if it's representative, but there was pink foofoo stuff everywhere. i'm not sure what else to say about that. there were two bedrooms, two living rooms and a small kitchen and eating area--all ideal for our purposes. the coaches got the bedrooms downstairs and then four of us (tx4k-ers) stayed up in the attic, which appeared to be the kids area. there were four beds with pink bedspreads and doll-sized chairs all with small decorative pillows...and a large stuffed dragon. he was bright red, had very cool blue, marbled wings and was made of the same material as squishy, the martian one of my friends won at a dave & busters-type place in boston...meaning that he was not really very squishy. the dragon was a little out of place, but really added to the ambiance.
lesson: if you ever go on a training trip, bed & breakfasts in the country are awesome...and if you ever open a bed & breakfast, the presence of a stuffed dragon in the children's play area is a must.

The google thing works, thus I can comment on your blogs!
RE the bed and breakfast, I am imagining an old, cute gray-haired lady with weakness for fluffy pink things running this place. Nice description there!
Aside, experiment #2 - bouncing glasses (Emily and Merih witnessed it)- I suspect it is the viscosity of fluid, but we should verify with oil. Will look for your input.
