Word Jumbling with The German
October 20th, 2007 by ChrisMy German suitemate from college, Christian Vlach, is visiting Cassarole and I right now. Like any good Euro Christian speaks quite a few languages, while Cass and I hack away with adding Spanish. Over breakfast we were discussing how the definition and use of a word in Spanish varies by country. Christian then told us this gem, “I started learning the Queen’s English in 5th Grade. My first week at Point Loma I leaned over and asked the girl next to me if she had ‘a rubber I could borrow.’ She looked at me with her mouth wide open and a red face. It took me a while to figure out why she didn’t answer me.”
We’re in Delaware for ‘cross racing this weekend. I brought #1 and Christian along, so I have doubled the size of and added some Euro flare to my cheering section… hopefully I’ve increased my luck as well.
Stuck in a rut…
October 15th, 2007 by ChrisNot that third place is bad, but four times! I had a great weekend at Gloucester and seem to be almost fully recovered from the cold that #1 gave me. The fans, course, competition, and weather were all awesome, but two things would have made it a perfect weekend, if Cassarole had attended and the obvious; if I had won. If you are bored and want to see me in tight lycra check out a couple of photos here and here.
The announcer, Richard Fries, has been saying for the past month over the PA that I have a girlfriend who goes to Yale. Here I am asking him to stop spreading rumors, because my wife wasn’t to happy to hear that I had a girlfriend.
After the race people kept coming up to me and asking, “where did you come from?” How I am I supposed to respond to something like that??? Also, I have graduated from being called “cheeky” to “a stunningly strong Chris Jones” by the cycling press. Fun.
Oh yes, I did have one of my all time favorite breakfasts on Sunday, pumpkin bread french toast. It is the ‘off-season’ so I can eat yummy food like this and dude it was so good.
Time for a nap so I can shake this cold thing…but first one last shot from my stud pit guy who is an awesome photographer, David.
A little vacation
October 5th, 2007 by ChrisAfter a short trip to Las Vegas for a cross race I headed out to Moab with Mark and Co. It was advertised as a guys trip with some 4×4 action… I didn’t realize how hardcore the off-roading would be! These guys took me over some crazy terrain. No trick photography involved:
We’re headed to the Hamptons this weekend, for a cross race, go figure.
Team news: I can’t tell you guys yet, but 2008 will be an exciting year.
