Miscelania

I'm out 6 Chipoltle burritos tonight... Got off cheap for an afternoon of Jesse Moore's services. Coach stopped by to talk the boys up about the off season. Looks like it will be full of "Jesse" rides, Hours of Power, circuits around the gym, and some gut wrenching core work. All the goodies to make boys fast come spring time... An off season's worth of training for the price of a few burritos. Now if I could swing some bikes for as cheap. And six bike racers can still put away food, even in the off season.

Speaking of Hours of Power... push this into a headwind for a few miles

And of interest in the signing department... TeJay is stepping it up. Rabobank... not bad for a kid from Montana, even if it is their continental team. It's fun watching kids take the next step that I watched cut their teeth... From TeJay's floppy cowboy hat to....

Holloway's curly locks to Switters' boyish grin (tried to dig up some pics of Mad Max Jenkins and Eric Riggs, but they must have been too fast even as kidlets for my old camera)


It's fun to see just how far the boys will go... Rumor has it that DHolla will announce a prosey contract pretty soon. I have it from inside sources that Mad Max is in negotions with a few teams that will pay you to ride, and, of course, Adam is already making bank when he turns the pedals.

fun, fun...

I know, this is the internet. But still,
you need to work on your spelling. If
only to impress them kidlets:

Miscelania --> Miscellania

Chipoltle --> Chipotle

As long as we are editing... the number 6 should be spelled out, s-i-x, in sentence one. The three dots that conclude sentence one are also incorrect. It is a declarative sentence and as such should have a period as end punctuation. Sentence number three has an assumed subject which I did not previously identify. Therefore it is also grammatically incorrect because it lacks a subject. Sentence number four is also a declarative and simply needs a period. Sentence number five is missing a subject and a simple predicate. "Now" in the sixth sentence should be separated by a comma because it is an introductory word/phrase, as should "And" in the last sentence of the first paragraph. Either that or the last two sentences should be combined into a compound sentence with the use of the conjunction "and." If I were to have done that, I would then need to have added a comma preceding the "and."

I forgot to capitalize the J in TeJay written in red in the second photo.

"Kidlet" is not a real word according to dictionary.com, but that is the internet so I shouldn't trust that source because it is the world's biggest vanity press.

blah, blah, blah...

When students in my classroom edit and/or critique a peer's work they are not allowed to hide behind the cloak of anonymity. They always sign their name. That way if there is any misunderstanding it can be discussed.

I think you, anonymous, misunderstand the purpose in my writing... I am not blogging to "impress." Although many may. Perhaps some even edit to impress. I sincerely hope that it is the kidlets that impress me, not me that impresses them. I am blogging first to entertain and second to inform. And, I do enough editing of creative grammar and spelling at work.
