I Wanna an Easter Egg

This past weekend was Easter and my wife and I hosted both our families for Easter dinner. Its a large gathering of around 20 or more people but it is always a lot of fun. We usually have a lot of traditional Polish food like perogies and stuffed cabbage as well as assorted other non traditional food like stuffed shells. My wife tries to make something visually spectacular for desert. This year she made and Easter egg from cream puffs and chocolate oreo balls. It was a simple but delicious dessert that was a crow pleaser.


By the way for those that remember the Bugs Bunny cartoon about Easter here is a link to I wanna an Easter egg.

Getting the Band Back Together

A windy day... - , Tierra del Fuego\

I had put a ride into the book for April 5 but when the book came out it wasn't there. No matter between a few emails and a blog post I got the word out. Most of the regular crew showed up. Laura, Ron, Al Cheryl, Joe Dave, Herb and Mary.

We ended up doing a windy ride to New Egypt. The ride down to New Egypt wasn't too bad but the ride back was tough. It was one of the windier rides that I have done. Still it was good seeing every one after a long cold winter.

Signs of Spring

When I last left you I was drinking away the pain of hard work and lamenting about what a crappy winter it was. I did get out a few times since then and had a couple of rides with Mary and Herb which was fun since I hadn't seen them in a while. Although the snow has melted and there are signs of growth it still doesn't feel spring like. There is hope though since this is the first week since December that snow has not been forecast (although it did sleet on Monday morning). The weather is getting warmer and it looks like it will be nice enough to get my first club ride in this weekend. I know there are a lot of others bikers out there who are depressed and need to get out on the road so lets hope that winter is finally over.
