Don't practice too much on photography, Ann, you're already better than me. And why are you Cirque training? You showed me your rear wheel the entire weekend last year.

Awsome looking Holdsworth Mr. Montgomery has. Any before shots? About my size too. Where did you say he lived?

And when should we friends show up at your house for beer? Don't spend too much time cleaning, we're not fussy. Just dust off the bikes.
