I was busy e-mailing back and forth with Kevin about it all, and one of
my friends was calling me every day about that day's stage, except on
the rest days. (Then she'd call me about baseball games.) Kinda weird
now, she hasn't called me in a few days. :)
I've also been soaking up everything the Austin paper has published on
it. He went to a conference on cancer after he won the Tour, did anyone
else know that? He made some kind of crack about how he wouldn't be
talking much, due to the hard time his 200 friends had given him in the
last 3 weeks. :)
Anyone besides me read _It's Not About the Bike_?
