The Old Man and the Sea by Ernest Hemingway


One of my favorite books of all times. I've read this story in the past. I believe this was my fifth time through it. If you've never read anything my Hemingway this is an excellent place to start.

The Green Mile by Stephen King


Not a lot to say about this one. If you've seen the movie you've read the book, and vice versa. The movie stays very true to the book. This isn't to say this is a bad book. My only problem is I've seen the movie at least four times and I was disappointed that the book added very little outside of the movie. Worth checking out at your local library if you’re interested.

Specialized Roubaix Comp Triple


I finally got a bike. I actually received this as a Christmas present from my wife. A very nice present indeed. So how does it ride? Well, in a stationary trainer really well. Outside of that I've only had the opportunity to ride it about five miles before my feet and hands turned purple and started to freeze. Once the weather warms up and I can let her fly I'll post my thoughts again. One thing to note is the wheels are Shimano rather than the Alex wheels mentioned on Specialized's web site.
