I know it isn't Tuesday so why is Transitioning Home on your screen? Well, Tuesday I have Dr.'s appointments and will be running around almost all day and I figured rather than try to deal with it early on a day when I am going to ache after my pain procedure or late when I am tired, I figured I would just post it early. I hope it doesn't freak people out too badly. There really is method to the madness. The other chapters should be just fine.

My novel God Bless the Child, which is available on Amazon and Smashwords has just received its first 4-star review. The last 8 were 5 stars. Am I upset, amazingly not really. I actually like having a 4 star in there (now a 1 or 2 star might piss me off) it makes it look as if real people are judging my work.

Has anyone discovered that sometimes while writing a story the plotline goes off in a completely unexpected way? I know with Bike I have more opportunity to explore cul de sacs than most and then bring it back to the main thoroghfare, but it never fails to amaze me how the story line unfolds in ways I wasn't expecting.

In response to a recent post by Angharad...

I read the blog Angharad posted about the doping issue in modern cycling and it is a sad truth to face. However, I did happen upon an article about an elderly cyclist that is putting quite a few of the "current crop" of professional cyclists to shame. The gentleman in question is 100 years old and recently set a 14.4 mile an hour pace over the stretch of 100km (62 or so miles). Admittedly, I don't know much about cycling, but I do know being able to set, and keep, a pace like that isn't anything to sneeze at. Never-mind the fact that he did it at his age.

Yesterday I came home for work, my roommate was up and about (sort of weird for her, she normally sleeps until noon). She told me she was going out for the day and would be back in the evening to help me with Sunday papers. I told her cool, but she wasn't obligated (I appreciate the help, but every time she comes she has the look like it is utter torture).

Yet ANOTHER close call for me!

I left my home about 20 minutes ago to make a quick stop at the grocery store. When I came out of the store, I clicked my remote to unlock my car doors and, as I got in, I clicked it again to lock them. As I inserted the key to start the car, someone came up on the passenger side and tried to open the door. I looked over to see a male pulling on the door handle. He shouted that I better open the door or... I didn't stick around to hear the rest. I dropped the car into drive and floored the gas pedal, almost hitting two other cars on the way.

Part 25 and the concluding chapter to my story is gone.

I hit the refresh button to check on the kudo and comments because apparently I am a rat in one of those science experiments for cocaine addiction and I can’t get enough of my fix when I noticed that the whole chapter seems to have been deleted and taken off the front page. Did I press the wrong button? Did the site do a hiccup? Is god (erin) out to get me?

Or is this like… an intervention?

There are times when we have dreams so real that they conflict with our memories. Which are the memories, and which are the dreams? Sometimes, it gets confusing. Sometimes, we have to wonder whether the memories really are memories, or if they are something else covering a deep dark secret…

So if I should deny your Add Request, please don't take offense - it's because I don't recognize the address.

The evidence seems to be stacking up against the former champion cyclist, as a cheat and a serial doper, although anything Tyler Hamilton said I would dismiss as coming from the mouth of a real slime ball.

I suppose one has to view it in context, and many of the teams were doping or turned a blind eye to it; and if you wanted to beat the dopers, you had to dope too, because no one in authority would listen. It's no excuse, it's still cheating and should have no place in sport.
