I'm leaving on Tuesday for the great state of California to bike the coast with my uncle Joe. Joe's a great guy, pastor at a church in Valencia, CA. We're starting just north of the Golden Gate Bridge and biking to just north of Santa Barbara. We're biking 6 days in total, and camping 5 nights. We're living it up in Monterey, however, we're staying in luxurious 2-star accommodations!
Side note, typing "accommodations" with 2 pairs of repeating letters reminded me of Cartalk's weekly puzzler. Which word has 3 pairs of consecutive letters that are all in a row. For example, 2 pairs of repeated consecutive letters would be "commiTTEE". If not for the "i" then it would be 3 pairs in a row. There is one word that I know of, and I remember reading about that riddle in an Encyclopedia Brown book back in the day. Remember those books? I was totally into them, heck, I wanted to BE Encyclopedia Brown. And Alex P Keaton. And Frank Hardy (not Joe Hardy however) Man was I dork. In any case, if you know that word, email Cartalk, or better yet, post it on my comments. If no one gets it I'll post the answer in a couple days.
I was the coolest kid in elementary school.

you were a dork, or you ARE a dork?
LOL Have fun in CA.
bOOKKEEper. I read that Encyclopedia Brown book too - I knew exactly what you were referring to. Can't wait to hear about your trip. What do you think of Surly beer, by the way?
Wow, that's awesome Beth, great job! For answering correctly, I owe you a Surly beer (which are all delicious, although I'm partial to Furious Ale).
See you soon, perhaps at a Twins-related event or the next time Team Whitney gets together.
