Shot in the leg part one

Mia sporting her Tylenol mustache

Tuesday was a pretty rough day being new parents. Mia got the first of her vaccinations. Three shots in her legs, 2 in one side & one in the other. She was a trooper & didn't cry for long. Mia is in the 90+ percentile for her age group. She's like 98 percentile for her weight! She's not a fat kid just big. I have an Aunt who is 6'5" so Mia has something to shoot for. She measured in @ 23 & 3/4 inches. Just a 1/4 inch shorter than Jimmy. Speaking of, no word on how he did in Soulard this past Sunday.

Yesterday sealed the deal on me liking Jens Voight. I've always liked the way he raced, very aggressive, always attacking. In the Giro he gifted a stage after seating on all race. In the tour of Romandie he had the opposite done to him. He was sat on then got jumped on the line. So I couldn't blame him if he returned the favor, but no he's a class act. In the tour he had an impressive victory. Plus it seems he's always in a break taking hard pulls & generally working his ass off for his team. Yesterday he was in a long break were he did a ton of work to help out Frank Schlek. He crashed on a descent chased back on & immediately went to the front to help Dave Z pull. Then when he got dropped & caught by his team leader Carlos Sastre he handed over his bidon & started pulling. Hard enough to drop Denis Menchov. He then exploded & limped in his job done till the next stage. How can you not like this guy? Plus now with Salvodelli gone I need someone to cheer for.
