I doubt it will make much difference in how they look, but I do have to say that climbing hills is much easier when you actually use both legs! :-)<br /><br />And I fear my love of team sports is somewhat limited. Baseball, basketball, soccer, lacross, hockey... they all bore me to tears. But football... I can't help myself, I just LOVE it! I think it's because on some level that's not readily apparent to the casual observer, it's a very cerebral sport. Sorta like a living chess game. <br /><br />Anyhow, I'm sure you're earning a lot of "cool points" with the kids by being able to chat sports with them!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-4086675182372128752016-09-14T00:49:25.096-06:002016-09-14T00:49:25.096-06:00Wait - somehow I missed this post before!

...Wait - somehow I missed this post before! Noooo!<br /><br />The sunflowers! Stunning. I keep thinking we should grow some but we haven't for many years.<br /><br />I laughed at you finding such an alien muscle! I'm so impressed that you are so fit and healthy just to zoom about on bikes like that. Something I aspire to.<br /><br />So good to read a sport post as well! I used to been utterly disinterested in team sports but nowadays I get really engrossed in a good football game (or basketball or any other sport, really.) And it is good to be able to talk to kids at school (boys and girls) about the sports they play. I don't know much about grid-iron though! I will have to ask the kids at school or Mr D :)Fionahttp://www.declutterer.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-49574584092906398772016-09-09T13:05:30.669-06:002016-09-09T13:05:30.669-06:00Ha! I heard a similar story about a woman who had ...Ha! I heard a similar story about a woman who had lost a lot of weight. Then one day she was doing a breast exam and found a solid lump - she panicked. Turned out it was a rib! Anyhow, I'm relatively sure the muscle has always been there, it's just bigger and more well defined now.<br /><br />Talk about a great first game for Trevor! Obviously he made a few mistakes, but it was so much fun listening to the "before" and "after" comments by Tony Dungy & company. Before the game they're all like "What is Kubiak doing? This kid has never even thrown a pass in an NFL game?!?" And by the end of the game they couldn't stop singing his praises! Hopefully next time it won't take the defense an entire half to wake up and remember who they are, and with any luck we'll clean up those turnover "issues" as the season progresses.<br /><br />Here's hoping you get some better weather soon! We could actually really use some of that rain, but it's hard to complain when it's just sooo beautiful outside!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-57057942313304002752016-09-09T10:41:43.249-06:002016-09-09T10:41:43.249-06:00With all your bike riding I can't believe you ...With all your bike riding I can't believe you didn't have that thigh muscle before. Maybe you just didn't notice it? That story reminds me of one I heard about a woman who lost a lot of weight inspired by poor health. One day she's laying in bed and notices a hard thing along her hip and tells her husband that losing weight didn't fix all her health problems because now she has a growth. Turns out it was the hip bone that she never felt before because of the fat previously covering that area. <br /><br />I wish we would hit a sweet spot in our weather! I have all the materials to paint my old deck but need three to four days without rain to tackle the job and we haven't had two without rain since the end of July.<br /><br />I watched your game last night and have to say I can see why you are excited about Trevor. He looks better on the field than Peyton did last year. That was a close game, I bet you were on the edge of your seat for that ending. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00557087787515295447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-84271845440444528772016-09-09T00:02:29.311-06:002016-09-09T00:02:29.311-06:00I think it will be a while before it's sweater...I think it will be a while before it's sweater weather here... at least before it's consistent sweater weather - September snow storms aren't uncommon, but the temperatures generally pop back up. The Broncos played today, and a bunch of the newscasters brought out their football sweaters - from the universal whining they did, it was apparently much too hot at the game for that sort of attire!<br /><br />Anyhow, here's hoping your weather cools off soon!

Anyhow, there are giant meadows just filled with the sunflowers, and when we're on the bike, there just isn't time to stop and photograph them all!EcoCatLadyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15704811319510740473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7685979597473858413.post-33697777888023678892016-09-07T11:26:29.753-06:002016-09-07T11:26:29.753-06:00I also laughed at you planning your own funeral. ...I also laughed at you planning your own funeral.
