Dear Dave: 
 
 DH> No,No,No! No offense was taken at all! I just didn't know Kinky was 
 DH> even known much outside Texas. He (note the Yiddish-type last name) 
 DH> had a band called "Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys". He did do 
 DH> a lot of satirical stuff, and yes, he was (is) not considered very 
 DH> "politically correct", whatever the hell that means. His heyday was 
 DH> during the Austin-scene progressive country days back in the '70's.
 DH>  Anyway, I don't see a problem with your using that tagline...I 
 DH> think it's hilarious, myself!
Glad to hear you're not angry.  The usual problem with e-mail:  I can't 
see the look on your face or hear the tone of your voice.  I figured it 
was better to apologize in advance in the hope of heading off a flame war.
Kinky is not well-known outside of Texas, I think.  Looking back on it, I 
think he made a TV appearance a few seasons back on The John Laroquette 
Show.  John spent a night in jail (I forget why) and shared a cell with 
him.  I plan to look for his CDs the next time I go to Tokyo.
 DH>  So, to stay on-topic...Been riding much lately ;>
Well, I just got started again.  As I wrote in another message here 
recently, The Girlfriend had to work on Saturday so I had time to clean, 
oil, tune and prepare the bike for this season.  I've been getting up at 
06:00 this week and doing a moderately-paced 10K before breakfast.  I'll 
do that for a week or two to get used to being on the road again and then 
I'll expand into longer morning rides (20-25k) and even longer weekend 
rides (40k+).
It sure feels good to get some exercise, though.
Tailwinds to you,
Steve
