Thursday, 22 July 04 :: oh to be there..

umm.. yeah. i'd like to be there, not here.. esp. on sunday, as lance armstrong rides into paris.. hopefully wearing the yellow journey.

yes, i'm a big fan, and not just because of lance armstrong, though i must admit that following his wins over the last 5 years, and this potential 6th year win, has been amazing. but i was there watching greg lemond as a kid.

every year the sportscasters describe the champs.. they talk about the cobblestones, the fact that it does have somewhat of a rise to it, that its not an even riding surface. walking down it and crossing it the many times i did i kept thinking about how amazing that street must be with no one on it but bikes. absolutely amazing.

unfortunately i've got meetings ALL day on sunday so i won't be able to see any coverage :(

and in weather news.. it was 97 degrees today in oregon. thats a lot. and take it from me.. it sucks. in a land of no air conditioning, it sucks. thank goddess for my car, and its ac!

oh my i'm boring these days. sorry.

about
i'm brooke, born in '73. i am currently a phd student in instructional technology. this is the blog where i capture all the neurotic, and the few non-neurotic, moments that seem to come with being a phd student (if you want to read less neuroses and more professionalism go to: oer's, dl's, reuse and culture: it's about a phd student researching digital resources in a multicultural world). i have been from eugene, oregon for a long time.. 8 years specifically (its my home now, but i grew up in southwestern virginia), but now i'm here in logan, utah at utah state university. after finding my roots in eugene i never could have expected that i would leave that liberal oasis and head to utah. but i did and there are days when its a blessing and days when i'm tempted to go back to oregon and beg the folks at lost valley educational center to let me move in. but i won't leave because there are days when this process is better than any kind of high i could ever imagine. what else? i collect things, i have 2 cats, 2 kayaks, 2 laptops (i'm a geek - one mac, one pc). i can be emailed at brookesblog@rivervision.com.
