Recovery

Yesterday was an awesome day in the Pyrenees for Le Tour de France.  I especially enjoyed it when the sheep tried to cross the road in front of the peloton, that was quite amusing.  Andy Schleck won the stage and he deserved to - he did all of the work pulling himself and Alberto Contador up the mountain.  Schleck will be standing on the top step of the podium in Paris within a few years, no doubt.  But this year, barring unforeseen disaster, the top will belong to Contador.  Today we get a flat stage through Bourdeax - perfect for the sprinters, then the time trial on Saturday and the final into Paris on Sunday.  It's been a fabulous tour. 

Some of the best scenes of multiple-surface conflict and work EVER!

Meghan, Chickie and I went to see Inception last night.  That is a mind-blowing movie in all respects.  I'll be thinking about these layers of onions for a long time.  It also qualified as one of the most confusing movies I've ever seen.  You really had to pay attention to what was happening, and it was really easy to lose your train of thought.  But it was really an amazing movie, and you leave the movie with questions in your mind.  If you like movies that can make you think and unsettle you a bit, this is for you.  I gave up some sleep for this outing, so I'm operating on less than empty today.
