"'Tell me,' he said, 'what is this thing about time? Why is it better to be late than early? People are always saying, we must wait, we must wait. What are they waiting for?'

'Well,' I said, feeling myself be led by Giovanni into deep and dangerous water, 'I guess people wait in order to make sure of what they feel.'

'In order to make sure!' He turned again to that invisible ally and laughed again. I was beginning, perhaps, to find his phantom a little unnerving, but the sound of his laughter in that airless tunnel was the most incredible sound. 'It’s clear to me that you are a true philosopher. And when you have waited---has this made you sure?'"

I couldn't fall asleep last night. Perhaps it was because of my escapades.

I love tea. I just got some earl grey tea from Bagelz. I think I am going to start calling it Early Grey tea now though.

So T-mobile/Deutsche Telekom AND Addidas both pulled their sponsorship from the T-mobile cycling team yesterday and today because they don't want their names involved any more in doping scandals. It's becoming ridiculous, this doping issue. First of all, I do not understand why we all act so surprised when it is revealed that someone has been doping. Climbing up a 9,000 ft mountain in France at 20mph after riding 90 miles already that day, and after riding 100 miles every day for the past 10 days, is not normal for a human being in its natural state. Come on, people. So now the former team T-Mobile is called Team High Road. The Jan must be sad.
