i just bought some ginger altoids. mainly because i'd never seen such a thing, and astonishment makes me vulnerable. they're... um... strong. quelle surprise, eh?

i found them while at the fresh market with lu and wayne to support the local juvenile diabetes foundation by buying root beer floats and hot dogs. my stomach seems to be more or less accepting it all, so i guess that means i'm officially not sick anymore.

oh, and while i've not really been following it this year, i found out that the tour de france is having a time trial (or, more poetically, a contre la montre) around besançon -- that town where i hung out for a year -- next saturday. hurrah! i shall have to tune in then. even if it's almost too sad that pantani is gone and shall never don the polka-dot jersey again. (yes, my father exposed me to far more televised tour de france cycling than football or basketball or baseball as a child. who knows, it may be responsible for all kinds of other eccentricities... and that's one of the many reasons my dad's the greatest.)
