So as well as the year started out, my cycling and general conditioning has now gone in the toilet.  I've been battling sinus and lung congestion for three weeks now.  As usual it would start to get better and the get worse again.  I finally went to the doctor yesterday…I appear to be getting to the end of it, but we're wacking it with antibiotics to make sure it goes away.  I'm hopeful that by Monday morning I will be well enough to begin working out again.  I'm so tired of this routine as this seem to generally happen at least a couple times of year to me.  :(

A coworker passed along the really great The Subprime Primer.  It's really funny if you overlook the fact that this is a compete disaster.  Somebody(s) is the banking and finance industry really should be going to jail for this stupidity.  Who in their right minds gives overs extended credit to high risk clients?  Hello?

I came across The drugs don't work last month, but never got around to commenting on it.  I think it paints a pretty interesting picture of what was going on in professional cycling during "The Armstrong Years".  Rather sad actually.  And in other regards, rather amazing.
