Soccer match

Gday, I saw Felix this weekend! It was heaps of fun with more duck feeding/chasing, whistle blowing (still no harmonica playing!) and a highly contested soccer match... Dad can report a solid victory 1-0 in extra time! (Felix was obviously not familiar with the FIA rules and was red-carded, leaving the goals wide open for Dad to score!) Felix loves to chat on the phone but thinks that stuffing his gob is just as important... Had heaps of fun and a visit to the animal park might be on the cards for Fathers Day. Posted by Hello

Chris (in) de-Burgh

Howdy, I did an MTBO event on Saturday at Wingello. Came in about 8th. Not bad i guess, I hate riding in the wind... it really psyches me out. Not a bad day tho... Came back through Bundanoon so I could get the standard pre-race nutritional supplement (a hamburger). I thought Id try a new cafe called "The Bike Shop Cafe" as I had a bike on the roof and thought a change would be nice. When I entered I grabbed a menu and saw that the prices were a little above my budget. I looked around and saw that the cafe was full of well-to-do city dwellers out in their Jeeps for a quiet drive in the country... hmmm. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN... it was as if everyone stopped talking just as this guy opened his mouth and to his misfortune, he said aloud to his friends: "Well, you know, the Cappucino *is* the Campagne of wine." O - My - God. That is so wrong. I was so out of there... On Sunday I donned the headphones and did my first mountainbike ride with a soundtrack. I hit the usual trail at The Burgh. IT ROCKED! Nothing compares to doing a wicked decent with The Beastie Boys thumping out Sabotage at full honkers. I saw a red belly black snake and that bought out the screaming pettycoat wearer in me... but we wont mention that again... ever. A fun time indeed. Cant wait to see the boy next weekend. Roadtrip with the mofo bro (Nathan). cya.

Madeline Mann is seen shortly after her birth in June 1989. Born at 27 weeks into her mother's pregnancy, she weighed just 9.9 ounces, less than any surviving baby in medical history. Next week, she enters high school as something even more extraordinary: an honors student who plays violin and likes to rollerblade. (AP Photo/A.
