Jeff, I know Chris plays a bit, and we can make Grahame do it. TMoney would play if we get Forza Horizons (which is supposedly cross platform,) but as much as I want to try it, there is another game on my "trying to justify list" before that one. If lots get it, though, I think it'd be fun and I'd probably get it. Would you want Forza on PC or XBone? Also, you should get Battlefield 1. **BRENT**

They call Chattanooga the Gig City... There's a reason. **BRENT**

BF1 on Greenman Gaming for 48$ (20% off) Is this going to be a thing? **BRENT**

Thank you so much for all of your support, everyone! We are doing the drawing for the bike I mentioned at the beginning, so if anyone else wants to contribute (it's not too late!) let's get them in soon. Xavier hit champion (yellow jersey, over 1000$ raised) last week, and I'm only 57$ away from hitting it myself! The drawing will be done at work tomorrow, and I'll let you guys know how that turns out. <3 Brent

My kicker has 23 points tonight. Suck it, Jeff. **BRENT**

I can probably do that. Message me on FB to remind me. Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

It wasn't a biscuit, it was a McGriddle... Pancakes as a bun. Crack is all the way around. Will talk more later. Love this kid! **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Thanks, new guy! 11 hours til we ride; so much to to. So many devices charging and tubes and gels and water bottles and Tour de Cure kit readying. Carbs have been loaded, hydration ongoing. Going to be a great day! And for the first time in three years, sunshine! **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

<3 I'm overwhelmed. He doesn't know yet, but he's going to flip out. I love you guys. <3 DOTU, I haven't had a biscuit in weeks, and I shall forego one tomorrow in your honour! **BRENT** He's so happy!

Thanks, Shelly! Xavier and I had an awesome time at the champions dinner last night. He also got some bibs, so he finally has some "kit." Still raising money, and we ride tomorrow morning. Will send updates! **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk

Find Dom and stay safe, my Floridifriends. Today at work I went to my second Toastmasters International meeting (something that was recommended to me by my Mentor at work.) We drew cards randomly to see who had to give a 2-3 minute "table talk" or a full-blown 5-6 minute speech. I had nothing prepared, and it was my first time speaking, and the area director was there, so of course I went with the 5-6 minute option, because fuck it. I did an off-the-cuff speech about cycling, bringing up the joys of youth, how I had used it as PT, and segued into a few quick tips for getting a "real bike." I got high marks on the speech, especially for off the cuff. I surprised the evaluator by going with a PT angle instead of straight fun, and it rounded out our day with something more enjoyable, as the first speech was work related, the second was tips on voicing during a speech, and mine was interesting. The area director who was sitting in on our meeting today wound up doing a good speech, and won the "best speech" prize, but coming in second to someone who's been doing this for years, who had the framework of this speech worked out, isn't a bad way to jump into a new program. Doing the entire speech with my fly unzipped, however, may come back to haunt me. **BRENT**

Thanks for the new donations, guys! For anyone else who wants to contribute, please donate to Xavier at http://main.diabetes.org/goto/XavierLawson He's close to his major milestone of 1000$, and I'd love it if he can hit it today! Update: Xavier did it! He's killin' me, so if anyone else cares to donate, choose #TeamOldMan here or #TeamXavier here. **BRENT**

RIP Brock Yates, creator of the Cannonball Run. http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/brock-yates-crosses-finish-line From his son: Today, after suffering with Alzheimer's for the last 12 years, my father finally succumbed. He touched many lives, but sadly no more. ~Brocker **BRENT**

Hey everyone. Final push before our big event Saturday morning! Thanks for all your support so far, and I'm making a final push to have Xavier meet his goal before the ride! We did our final training ride of a just below 20 miles, when we ran out of daylight. https://www.strava.com/activities/733570816 He is SO excited, as this is the reason he's put in so much work riding this year. I'm so proud (if you couldn't tell.) That was taken right after our training ride last week. You cyclists will be happy to know that although most of the time I'm setting the pace, this last ride there was a section he just straight up dropped me on. Oh, did mention he's beating me by over 200$? If you want to help increase the lead, donate to #TeamXavier or #TeamOldMan **BRENT**

I was so tired I couldn't post a picture with 5 tries. I kept falling asleep without knowing which pic I clicked, but there was a 2 hour drag show on the stage downtown. It was Zoë's first drag show, and she loved it. There was Phoenix from RuPaul's Drag Race who did two sets. There Zoe is, one in from the right next to her friend, and standing with mystery dude, Mrs. Pride Chattanooga 2016, and my friend Katie (who Colin, Fitz, and Santa all know.) I took more pix with my SLR that are actually good, so need to edit them; will try to post those tonight. **BRENT**

Took Zoë to a Pride Day celebration. 9 hours for her, 6 for me. Had a great time. She's on the left in the hat. **BRENT** Sent from my ONEPLUS A3000 using Tapatalk
