Well, I hope to be recovered from my little stunt this weekend in time for V-ball next month If not I'll just have to be a spectator.<P>Once you guys get settled in, I'll try to sneak out of work & come down to the beach for a visit. I might even be able to make one of the MB dinners, but work and it being "my" week with my son will definitely complicate things.<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Little stunt? Oh Nick, do tell.<P>Hope it isn't anything too serious. Perhaps just a bad case of boy meets road and leaves the skin of his thigh as a token of his appreciation?

Nope, no road rash. I just rode 150 miles this weekend on legs that were only good for about 125 I'm having a massive ITB issue this morning, but a couple zillion motrins and a couple of days off the saddle should restore the legs.<P>Besides, if I ever dumped my bike, the last thing in the world I'd be worried about would be how much skin I left on the pavement. I can heal, but scratching my new bike would be major trauma indeed <P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Wow 150 miles, impressive!<P>Glad to hear that you are in one piece. <P>Go get yourself a good deep tissue massage. <P>Take Care.

Hey Nick is that your way of saying we need to take it easy on you or what. Hope to see everyone there.<P>wishing us all well<BR>........JJ..........

Girllllzzzzzzzzz,<P>C00ker's just trying to milk some sympathy...he got tired of us giving the boys a whoopin on the sand court... <P>150 foot ride is not that much...<P>Oh...miles, did you say? <P><B><I>MILES???!!!</I></B><P>...nevermind... <P>Somebody give Nick a trophy and a yellow jersery, will ya? ...and maybe some Icy Hot for those sore muscles <P>Lisa<P>------------------<BR>I am woman...hear me roar...okay - meow...okay - purr? Hey, I'm working on it.<p>[This message has been edited by On*My*Own (edited May 21, 2001).]

JJ, I'll think about that offer - at this point, I'm thinking $50/night is more than I can do for more than a few nights, anyhow. When is it that everyone will actually be there?<P>Nick ... Now, don't you remember that at the end of last summer I was a passenger on my husband's sport bike for a trip from upstate NY to Long Island? And back? In the same day? 300 miles round trip! I survived - and was walking again less than 2 days later... You can't be older than me ... can you?<P>BTW, the reason your last serve didn't get returned is because it flew a zillion miles an hour ...

: Hey, Nick we weren't blinded, the ball never reached us. I will be there by Friday around noon time. (hopefully I'll get up early) I would like to be there no later than 1pm. Check in time at hotel is 4pm I beleive. I geuss Nick is to old to play with the girls. He can't keep up. How about you Zip are ya sitting out w/ Nick or are ya gonna play. <P>Wishing us all well!<BR>.......JJ........

Sitting out? Moi? Au contraire mon cherie....<P>You'll get no bye week from us, right Zip?<P>Zip?<P>Hellllllloooooooo....<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

oops! Well, someone mentioned road rash, which I always associate with the "other" kind of bike...<P>I gotta give you loads of credit - I don't think I could bike a whole mile these days!<P>JJ, I'll have to see what kinda money I have and what airfares are. It's too far for me to drive by myself - 10 hours or more - plus, I'm not all that sure my car would care for the trip!<BR><P>------------------<BR>terri<BR><B>Courage</B><P>Whatever course you decide upon,<BR>there is always someone to tell you<BR>that you are wrong.<P>There are always difficulties arising<BR>which tempt you to believe that your <BR>critics are right.<P>To map out a course of action <BR>and follow it to an end <BR>requires courage.<P><I>Ralph Waldo Emerson</I>

Hey Nick I think Zip is still looking for the back door. We can get you a cane with the cute little seat on it, for those tired legs on ya! <P>Terri that would be cool. <P>Not to sure of the drive myself but, I'm determined!!!!!! :<P>girls 14 boy 4 <P>Wishing us all well<BR>.........JJ.........<p>[This message has been edited by JJ71197 (edited May 23, 2001).]

Hey, Nick and Zippy... sounds kinda like a cartoon don't ya thin, girls? <P>I can't wait to get to the beach!!! Only 20 days and counting!!!<P>Terri,<BR>You can definately share the room with JJ & I... if we can find someone else to share too, it will help even more. I'm planning on staying until the 28th or 29th, then back to Baltimore for a couple of days to see some of the sites there. Depending on the room sharing arrangements though, I might leave on the 27th... and stay somewhere a little less expensive. Let me know!<P>Smooches!<BR>Busty<p>[This message has been edited by Butterfly (edited May 23, 2001).]

: Yippie we win. Yippie we win. Round 2 coming up. Ready boys.<P> Hey Dawnetta we can all share one room what ya think. Girls on the bed, boys on the floor.<P> I geuss we can at least give them a pillow.(as I throw pillow, whoops sorry Zip!) <P>19 more days, getting wardrobe ready!!!!!!<P>Wishing us all well!!!!!!!<BR>........JJ.........

You know, it's kind of difficult covering the court all by myself. Especially outnumbered like I am <P>So since it looks like my wingman had to bingo back to the boat, I guess I'm going to have to find another teammate, just to keep things fair. Any takers?<P>------------------<BR>nick<P>it's only time that heals the pain <BR>and makes the sun come out again

Nick I'll give a shot. Let me grab my sunglasses.<P>OK serve it up<P>Bill

:Ok Nick you found someone to feel sorry for ya! Here Bill this one is right at ya! (WHACK!!!!!) Ok guys you need to call I GOT IT. Here is some ice for your noggings!!!!<P>Wishing us all well!<BR>.........JJ............

OK JJ,<P>Foul! The sun was in my eyes! Reserve I'm ready now. I must warn you I was in the Olympics.

Only have 20 minutes left tell I have to go be an adult. Why won't anybody come out and play with me?<P>Oh well, Guess I'll just play with myself.<P>OOOooooops, that did'nt sound good.

Hey Nick,<P>I'm back. I accidentally stumbled into the hot tub. Help!!!, I've fallen and can't get up!!! "We'll be right there Mrs. Fletcher" Oh, wait. That was a commercial.<P>Um,... would you believe that I couldn't find a bathroom?<P>I went to get my car detailed?<P>I had a heart attack and died?<P>My X found me and I killed her twice?<P>And JJ, ah back door? Sorry exit only, you pig!!!<P>LH? Playing with yourself? Have you been hanging around the wrong crowd lately?<P>I can't wait. The Red Rocket is ready to do some heavy duty highway cruising. Pop the T tops and crank up the tunes. If it ain't metal, it's crap. Thank you Dee Snyder.<P>It's getting close gang and I can't hold it much longer!!! <P>Zippy's final thought. What's the difference between light and hard?<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>*<BR>I can sleep with a light on.
