Just when you think there's nothing to write about

I've been working on the same problem at work for almost two weeks. I might actually be closing in on a potential solution, but what used to be fun is starting to not be.

As an added bonus, I was awakend last night to The Youngest Child throwing up on herself in her bed. Deee-lightful. So, I'm chugging along on about 3 cylinders today. I'm just glad it's an "off" day on the training schedule.

But, just when I thought all was lost, I stumbled upon The RealSeat(TM) in one of the digests I receive from rec.bicycles.marketplace. I had to choke back a LOUD laugh, but was delighted when I read the "Q&A" section. Some of the gems:

Q: I belong to a touring club in which we have several fanatical carbon fiber 'road bike' types. Through our club website, I have expressed an interest in purchasing one of your seats. While I personally think your seat looks great and makes practical sense, the road bike crowd seems to be less than open minded to your seat. For they laugh and ridicule your seat, claiming I would be buying a fat persons seat. Is there any advice you can give me to combat their rudeness.

A: Yes and No! Unfortunately in this 'day and age', there are way too many adults who act like spoiled children. For these types of people forget they were born with two ears and only one mouth AND a butt much wider than the skinny saddle they have been straddling their being upon all these years. We can only hope and pray their skinny little saddles will someday render them infertile

There is more, but it's too good to just re-post. Besides...the author of the site might get mad at me and wish me to someday be infertile :-)

Wish me luck in finding The Problem, and enjoy the RealSeat(TM).
