After talking to many people about what I should do with the prize money we won, I decided to buy a motorcycle, and not just a motorcycle a HYABUSA!!!! I figured if you wanted to get a bike, you might as well get a big one. JUST KIDDING MOM.
I did buy something, I bought a piano!!! After getting laughed out of a piano store with the amount of money I wanted to spend, UH and I stopped by the salvation army, and they had 2 to choose from, so after calling in a favor from cameron and talking the checkout lady down on price, I have a new piano for the grand total of 67.35. What a deal. To bad we dropped it loading it in and dropped it taking it out of the truck...yeah it is a touch out of tune, but I love it. Now I can sit and play "NOVEMBER RAIN" til my heart is content.
Here is Cameron smashing his fingers.
They had children on sale when I got the piano, so I bought a baby also
SUCCESS!!!
I was lucky enough to have set up a surveillance camera which caught the vandals this past weekend...
Jessica and her tiara TAGGING my house.

Hey man.... PIANO! PIANO!! Now this gives me another reason to come visit you. I was going to say, on my way down to GA in june I may swing in and say whats up.... mellow mushroom. haha. Again congrats on the piano, the kid and the WIN!
Hey Mark--I saw your name when I was reading about the Athens crit and thought, "wait, I know that guy!" Congrats on your recent successes--I still live in Ithaca where we met and rode a bit during the spring and summer of 2001 (just before I became a faculty member at IC--history department). We did a Take the Lake ride that May and at every road sign sprint you kept pulling out of your pedal (old cleat I think). Anyway, all the best! Michael Smith (mismith@ithaca.edu)
credittoride.com baby! let me get ya on that BUSA!
man, that's bad ass. I want a piano but I want to be able to play that "wherever you go whatever you do" song by Richard Marx. It rocks ballz.
hmm, Iphone or piano. Who woulda thought. For some reason I find it totally hilarious that you bought a baby. Fits right into the string of the "new" Hekman.
sophisticated wine drinking, no partying during races, eating well, living up to big claims (making a name). And now a baby. You're moving right up. HA
credittoride.com baby! lemme get ya on that 40% interest rate.
that's the cutest little girl baby i've ever seen.
You did not have to buy a baby! Trudi and I have one coming you could have borrowed anytime.
Your girl is hot.
Why wasn't I invited to the party.
Tel Neil to call his mum. She wrote an e-mail to me thinking he is dead. Really.
