A free moment...

Jacob is sleeping... it took a little bit of coaxing but he is asleep.

I figured I'd redo work I had done on my mtb. I installed new cranks and apparently I have a 73mm bottom bracket and not a 68mm... that tells you how long it has been since I've been working on bikes. I should've known that right?

Today is New Year's Eve, Kristen is working. So it is just the boy and I at home. (Don't tell Kris but Jacob is still in his pj's, I was not up for "the battle" this morning) Brent is having a party in DE and I'd love to get there but it seems like there is so much effort involved to do anything these days.

Speaking of effort, we are having company tomorrow for pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes ( P,S and MP). Apparently it is a tradition in PA. The first time I heard of it was from Derek. It was New Years Day and we woke up and went for a New Years ride, and yes we were feeling very "fresh"... I think I had to stop and puke. Anyway, got back from the ride and Derek says we need to have pork, sauerkraut and mashed potatoes. I gave him a load of crap about it, that's what friends are for right, but I love traditions and couldn't pass up a new one. Besides, P,S and MP sounds alot better than Black-Eyed Peas, right? We ran to the A&P and the pork selection was awful. Needless to say we made it, but is was not that good. I think I've been having P,S and MP on New Year's Day ever since. Although, now a days we do it right (thanks to Kris and Buba) Turned out Kristen and her family has been having P, S and MP since the dawn of time.

Last night I had a little discussion with my folks and it led to me once being called a conundrum, but they thought a curmudgeon was more appropriate. I think I liked conundrum better. Oh yeah, the same person that called me a conundrum also called me "weird-o monk-boy"...
