Is That Coffee Coming Out of Your Nose?

Alright, it's Sunday morning and I'm supposed to be in Reston, VA, riding my bicycle at the annual Tour de Cure American Diabetes Association event. But, it's raining, and it's calling for rain on and off for the rest of the morning. The TDC is an annual event that I love to support with my funds and my time, but this year is going to be a bust.

I made a commitment a few years ago to stop riding in the rain. Besides that nasty skunk stripe you get up the back of your jersey when the rear wheel kicks up road water, it can be very dangerous. It's even more so if you're going to be in an area where automobile traffic is sharing the road. One good slip and you're down. Not pretty.

So, I'm using my time to catch up on my reading. Well, I stumbled upon Gwen Banta's blog, "Homicide and the MLS (Are you killing your listings?)" post, and I found myself blowing coffee out of my nose. I'm not sure which is more enjoyable, blowing hot coffee out of my nose from laughing so hard or sliding down the asphalt on my back. Hmmmm? It's a tough call, but I think I'll go with the coffee. At least as long as it has vanilla creamer. Take a minute and read Gwen's blog, but do not, and I repeat, do not try to drink or eat anything in the process.
