I prayed, actually prayed we'd have the winning bid. We didn't. Just as well. My sister would never have ridden with me and I'd have had to peddle the dang thing myself. Glad you have someone who will actually peddle you around and suffer through the brainstorming sessions. :)Melanie Shermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385073936714563295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-8534227413242382312010-03-19T10:53:33.157-07:002010-03-19T10:53:33.157-07:00Rhonda, the tandem bike is hands-down the best bir...Rhonda, the tandem bike is hands-down the best birthday gift I ever received. I highly recommend it! <br /><br />LR, I had this same experience with Pythagoras and a cross country ski trip. After awhile, I think he forgot I was even with him. This is why the tandem works nicely. It forces him to stick with me!<br /><br />Patrick, I think my mom wants to adopt you now. She likes your fart jokes.<br /><br />Susan, I'm rather fond of all of those things as well (especially me!)

Just not cute.<br /><br />Kristina, there's definitely something about fresh air and exercise that gets the creative juices flowing. BTW, my butt thanks you for the compliment. <br /><br />Xuxana, I'm pretty sure I'd still be waiting if it weren't for the phone call that allowed me to say, "honey, we just won a wedding next Friday, want to get married?"<br /><br />Linda G, I do love the tandem. And yeah, I'll secretly admit I have my moments where I'm not peddling as hard as he is. Don't tell.<br /><br />Patrick, thank you for filling my weekly quota of fart jokes. Same time next week?<br /><br />Jen, so glad you're enjoying the blog. Come back tomorrow for "Brainstorming makes my butt feel good."<br /><br />Karen Amanda, Pythagoras has one of those fancy gel seats on his road bike, and occasionally puts it on my half of the tandem when he's feeling generous. I haven't found it makes a huge difference. Just have to build up the butt callous every year!<br /><br />Thanks for reading, everyone!<br /><br />TawnaTAWNA FENSKEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11468819219529035563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-59494783033147881602010-03-18T19:52:35.845-07:002010-03-18T19:52:35.845-07:00Love it!
