Is it possible we haven't touched on bikes yet on this blog?  It's not true, is it?

Will and Miles after a muddy SRAM Brah Birthday Ride


In this day and age, mountain bikes, or as I like to refer to them, salaries with wheels, are meant to be out in the rough getting pushed to their limits!  

I have only caught a glimpse of the mud and sweat and dirt.  Only a whisper about the breakdowns, flats and jammed up components on these works of art.  Will knows the value of any possession is only what you can get out of it.  Things aren't meant to be put on the shelves and admired.

So you go get it, Will, ride that muddy trail, and show it who's jefe.

Do you like meat? Yes, sometimes. it seems to be getting a pretty bad rap lately.  So many documentaries, methane gases, cruelty issues, blood and guts. Basically, the world feels like it's turning its back on red meat in many ways.  Oh, wait a minute. We are at the Elks in this picture. Forget everything you just read because it's Cook Your Own Steak Night at the 322 Lodge.   Cowboy cuts, big 'ole slabs of American grown moo-cow. That's Will holding two giant margaritas.  No holding back.  We eat veggie burgers, protein shakes, almond milk smoothies and caffeine-free drinks most of the time in our lives.  Then you know what happens next?  Burn all that shit to the ground by eating a fat steak and 16 ounces of sweet tequila bliss.  Balance.

Crushing it in Demin

My Husband Crushes it in Denim Shirts This is a picture from our wedding reception dinner at Bridget Ready's home.  When I think back on this day, I am grounded mostly by the overwhelming feelings of confidence and excitement that I have inside me, then and now, surrounding our marriage. Will has been the foundation that I had never known could exist before, in another person.  The commitment he has shown for our relationship, his friends, work, family, is incredible and constant. And he crushes it in denim shirts. This day marks his 36th trip around the sun and with it, just like every year in all of our lives, comes another layer of strength and integrity built by what he does, how he acts, and what he stands for.  He doesn't speak poorly of others, he sees the good side of situations that are downright bad. I love you so very much Will2bKING. Your forever wife, Emily

Measure Twice, Cut Once You know those intense chores that you know are going to take a long-ass time because there are so many steps and coordination, that you put it off for months and don't do it? Well, we have a patio set with cushions, and the covers had progressively decayed to the point that no one wanted to sit on them, except Frida of course.  In comes Will to help out.  Never done a sewing project before, new spring chicken, and he is going to do all the measuring and cutting of the fabric. No Big Deal. I was stationed at the sewing machine so that we could get the project done quicker.  Will measured and cut all the fabric and he wasn't even wearing a shirt.  No shirt!  You'd think I would be too distracted to get any sewing done, and I admit that did slow me down.   This list of things Will can do just keeps growing.  I hope that NASA isn't reading this blog and realizing that they should come to sweep him up, give him...
