Veggie Fest 2006 is today at Bryan Park from noon to 7PM. I’m very much looking forward to it. I hear the food is great and I’m interested in connecting with the Richmond vegetarian scene.
I’m not that old 2

I am a few months away from the big three zero and all of a sudden in the past few weeks I’ve started getting all this mail for senior citizen stuff. Stuff on hearing loss, medicare, etc… and yesterday I got a AARP membership offer. Alicia thinks it’s hysterical. Either someone thought it would be a funny joke to play on me as I’m about to turn 30(which it is), or there is some weird mixup somewhere. So if this is your joke, here is your chance to come clean and take credit for it.
Train at Innsbrook Afterhours

We were given free tickets(thanks Pete!) to see Train at Innsbrook Afterhours last night. I didn’t know who Train was, but did recognize some of their songs and they were songs that I liked, which was a pleasant surprise. Those songs included Meet Virginia and Calling All Angels. They also sing Drops of Jupiter but we left before they played it. The lead singer was very nasally, he must have had a cold or something, and that would be my only complaint. I didn’t catch the name of the band that opened for them but they were enjoyable to listen to as well. It was an enjoyable date for Alicia and I.
Apparently this is a biking blog 5

Since I’ve written about nothing else since I got the bike… I promise it won’t be like this forever.
Ross called last night to invite me on their regular Tuesday/Thursday morning ride. I figured what the heck I’d give it a shot. Well, it’s about 5 miles to Ross’ house, then we went on a 10 mile ride, then 5 miles home. I left the house at 6:20 and got home at 8:45. If you care about the route I took you can see my best guess here. 19.6 miles. Crazy. I wonder if I’ll be able to walk later?
Enjoyable weekend

We were pretty busy yesterday. After my bike ride we went to the library and got some lite reading. I picked up John Grisham’s The Testament(very good so far). Then we went down to the Tomato Festival down at the Farmer’s Market, made a quick stop at Rosie Connelly’s for a beer, then over to an Open House at the Historical Society where we got a private tour from Carol Anne(thanks!). A client of Alicia’s, Pete, was there doing promotional stuff for a radio station. He hooked us up with free tickets to a few events around town(thanks Pete!). We then went out to Short Pump so Alicia could get new tennis shoes and I picked up a few things for my bike(helmet, headlight and taillight). Then we just came home and read.
This morning I went for another bike ride. Just over 7 miles this time but I did some exploring. I went over the Leigh St Bridge and into downtown and around there. It’s nice to know you can get over to downtown without having to go down and up the big hills, thanks Ross for that info. It was raining some or I probably would have explored some more. Now I’m home and drying off and looking to spend some time reading before lunch.
Update: I finished The Testament this weekend. It was a very good read, I recommend it if you are looking for something to read.
