I&#8217;ve been doing a bit of it because Joanna and I (and maybe my mom and dad and her dad and brother) are going to try to ride the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ngpc.state.ne.us\/parks\/guides\/trails\/cowboy\/cowboy.asp\" target=\"_blank\">Cowboy Trail<\/a> next year.  Joanna and I did ~13 miles on Sunday, my folks and Anna and I did ~5.5 yesterday, and Anna and I did another 5.5 today.  All in all, a fun time.  Thank God for a nice cushy seat (or I&#8217;d be talking SADDLE SORE!)<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Joanna, I&#8217;m reminded that I need to get to work on another baby quilt (I&#8217;m reminded because we generally quilt together).  A friend of mine in KC has a baby on the way and I&#8217;ve been invited to her shower next month.  That means I&#8217;d best get moving.  I wonder, does she know if she&#8217;s having a girl or a boy?
