A Precursor Post

Observation:
A couple of days ago it occurred to me that the random thoughts running through my head are occasionally the sort people involved in social networking might display using whatever medium the are involved in. So without further ado, here are some "Things I would have Tweeted/Facebooked/Whatevered":

The low coefficient of friction between leaves makes biking difficult. And the COF between leaves and my eyeballs is high enough to accomplish the same result.

Cyclocross has the unlooked for benefit of covering people in dirt. The mud is good for two reasons: A shell to ward off mosquitoes, and a thick layer of material which will slide on smooth sections of pavement.

It turns out that handball is better played with the fronts of your hands. On a related note, it also turns out that if you develop a bruise, the best course of action isn't to do whatever it was that caused it many more times.

Scrabble is becoming an increasingly depressing game for me lately. Most recently, it turns out that "ewok is not a word." Oh phone, how wrong you are...

I think I'll just let that sink in for a bit and write my response to it tomorrow. It's a bit late right now, and I'm tired enough as it is. It's just too awesome that the current theme in my life seems to be doing what you want to do. If only it were that simple, right? Seems like a good place to start my next post. Spoiler alert: it will probably be long. And perhaps boring. You have been warned.
