A bike around St. Pete, drive across the Sunshine Skyway Bridge, causeway grill/4-Square/swim, Anna Maria Island play, and an evening in St. Pete.

Thing is, my odometer has 5 digits. I wonder what will happen when I hit 100,000 miles...

4 Corners, Oh Boy!:

When Kyle, Hoss, Moose, and I did our roadtrip from Saratoga Springs to Las Vegas, we competed in the Maxim roadtrip contest by playing 4-Square at many of the Nation's most renown sights. We considered the Four Corners to be the most ideal locale to play 4-Square in. We, however, ruled it out since there is usually a line and we just simply wouldn't be allowed to play there.

Good news: The surveyors in 1868 were 2.5 miles off. Kyle! Hoss! Moose! Let's haul ass to the real intersection of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, and Utah before word gets out.

A Jenny Saffran says:

"Absolute pitch is too fine a form of categorization," she says. "If that's all we knew, we couldn't generalize any of the sounds we hear. If we only used absolute pitch as adults, we wouldn't understand that 'Happy Birthday' in two different pitches is the same song, or that the word 'cup' spoken by a man and a woman was the same word."
