Funny story...
My sister's boyfriend (the one from China, though he's Canadian. He just teaches there) is in town during his summer off. He's also avoiding Beijing during the Olympics, 'cause it's gonna be nuts and he gets to make a killing renting his place to some sucker.
Anyway...
I don't use my bike much (never) and he borrowed it from me so he could get around the city during his time here. He grabbed it from me Sunday evening because we were having a belated Father's Day dinner (my parents were vacationing in England at the time. We made our usual scene in the restaurant involving loud, bousterous, politically incorrect conversation, drove a couple of people away, had a good booze filled time. My family is awesome if you're not particularly sensitve), and was glad to have it.
So tomorrow, he's buying me a new bike.
The first time he took it out, he bought a new bike lock, went down the street, locked it up, went inside some store for a few minutes, and BAM: stolen bike.
He was all apologetic and stuff, but I don't really care. It's just a bike, right? One I don't often use, to boot.
I'm sure he doesn't want to spent the money, but he's got to understand that it's pretty funny.
A'yuh,
J.R.
RANDOM FACT: I love the song Total Eclipse Of The Heart by Bonny Tyler. In fact, when I was 2 or three years old, I used to ask my Mom to put it on the radio, as I assumed at the time that my mother had control over what was playing on the radio.

I actually liked the cliffhanger, mostly because I was not expecting the show to go in that particular direction. It also left a lot of unanswered questions that have made me even more interested in seeing what happens next. That is the mark of a good show, in my opinion.
...and thanks. I really do hope that feeling this way helps me come up with something.
