Ward has got the be the greatest husband ever!  Look what he came home with for me - Of course we don't have that kind of money just laying around, or I'd be driving a  nicer car for sure.  We're just super fortunate he works at LL Bean  has great benefits (like the eStore) - so we got a fabulous deal on this bike.   A Specialized Sequoia Elite road bike.  Yippie!    I see a lot of biking in my future.
