ok, so a veil of secrecy has settled on our household...........it is tour de france time.......my mother tapes each night's broadcast on oln, then ecw picks it up next day and we watch it before bed, with a beer...the secrecy comes in on the side of pre-knowledge......i read about every day's results online before leaving work.....and i cannot tell ecw because he does not want to know...he wants to watch........so...right now i know that tyler hamilton wrecked and fractured his collarbone........and is disappointed that he has worked so hard for this year's tour........but wait......he rode a fabulous time today despite the injury................i will know this when we watch yesterday's race tonight...but i will not be able to tell it........this secrecy thing is not in my genetic makeup..........

speaking of secrecy/restraint......today i checked out a few books (we are so slow at trc in july...) and someone who works there was telling me about her daughter who is struggling to finish the last of her ap books before leaving on vacation...blah...blah......and how she will have to take a test on the day they leave before they can actually leave .....i smiled and said nothing..........this is BIG......i did not feel that i needed to tell of the entire ap reading and testing thing before scw's trips.....i just smiled......surely God has this on her permanent record.....................
