Funny story... kinda.... well... maybe not....

Theresa and I attended curriculum night at Donovan's school the other nite... You know, where you get a brief introduction to your kid's teachers, and what methodology they will be using, etc., etc. So... we sit in his writing/reading class, where he has a new teacher this year. Since she is new, this lady begins by sharing a bit about herself, her interests, etc. She has on overhead projector on which she shows us photos of her many travels: Japan, Africa, Mexico... and this is the image that she shows for my homeland:

La calaca: tilica y flaca...

So I'm sitting there, quickly scan the room, and realize NOBODY else is seeing this but me. She goes on to say she is fluent in spanish, so she should be able to connect better with the kids that are native speakers, and then her presentation continues. After the presentation is over, and while parents are talking to her, I grab my phone and take the above picture.

Part of me thought it was funny, (hilarious, really), part of me was suspicious (of the likely 100's of photos you have, THIS is the one u choose?), and part of me was really bothered by it (lack of attention to detail).

A little more cross racin'

The one really cool thing about cx is you can go out every weekend and give it another go, as opposed to triathlon, where you need to plan things out a bit more carefully.

Good rivalry with Nick Adsero.
Today I fell on the last lap & Nick opened a gap I couldn't close down.

So let's see what next weekend brings....

Right on the heels of summer...

cyclocross starts off here in the PNW.

First race is in the books. I managed a bit of a hat trick last Sunday, starting in the penultimate row, about 50-60guys back, and working my way up the field to 6th. Not bad for the first outing, considering I had my doubts after being only 2weeks removed from a long walk at Challenge Penticton.

One more bike ride before school...

Donovan and I went for a bike ride this weekend, to wave farewell to the summer. I'm sure we'll keep riding throughout the Fall/Winter, specially with the start of cyclocross, but this was the last ride of the 'summer'...

"Papa! You sure you should be taking a photo while riding...?"

Well-deserved bar after arriving at the turn-around point.
