2. world-famous burgers at 2 a.m. while wearing heels.
3. a hero on the basketball court. i got to ride with this guy on tuesday morning. he was the ultimate 6th man. in my college ball-playing days, detty's name was often brought up as an example of classy perfection. i had many a moment of near-falling-off-bike adoration during my ride on account of the greatness pedaling beside me.

4. really cute and sweet bike racer boys who need to be adopted and fed cookies and dinner when at all possible. lang (on the left) is one such kid. he is funny, smart, cute, fast, and a helluva catch. he will kill me when he finds his photo on my blog (lang, send me another one), but hey, i'm just lookin out for my homeboy.
5. a quote to live by from a favorite author:
“Every single one of us at birth is given an emotional acre all our own. You get one, your awful Uncle Phil gets one, I get one, Tricia Nixon gets one, everyone gets one. And as long as you don’t hurt anyone, you really get to do with your acre as you please. You can plant fruit trees o flowers or alphabetized rows of vegetables, or nothing at all. If you want you acre to look like a giant garage sale, or an auto-wrecking yard, that’s what you get to do with it. there’s a fence around your acre, though, with a gate, and if people keep coming onto your land and sliming it or trying to get you to do what they think is right, you get to ask them to leave. And they have to go, because this is your acre.”
