February 23rd, 2018:

	Nothing like having your workday turn to shit ten minutes before 
it starts.  Sigh.  Such is life in industrial sales...  Ah well, it's 
Friday, and I get to spend my weekend watching Belgian bike races.

It's the start of the Cobbled Classics season, tomorrow being the Omloop 
Het Nieuwsblad race, Sunday being Kuurne-Brussels-Kuurne.  Sure, I gotta 
get up at 4 or 5 am to watch, but I'm usually up at 5am on a weekday 
anyway, so it's not much of a stretch.

I'm not a fan of any rider or team in particular (apart from Annemiek van 
Vleuten), but I *am* a fan of cycling in general.  I also love the 
Flanders countryside, and hope to visit there one day (on my way to 
Luxembourg).  Hoping to see Didi the Devil get some screen time too :)

It's funny, anytime I mention that I'm a fan of professional cycling, some 
idiot has to weigh in with "They're all a bunch of cheat/dopers", yet it 
happens in almost every professional sport without comment... but I 
digress.

Anyhow, the phones are starting to ring off the hook, so I'd better get to 
work.  A Bientôt!
