Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginning's End

Sticking with the song lyrics theme, but fast forwarding to 1998, I plucked out the very last sentence from Semisonic's "Closing Time" for the title of this entry.  Exactly 11 days after placing the order for my new MTB bike, she finally came in.  I just happened to be in the area when I got the following detailed message from Air Park Bikes earlier today:

"It's Here"

After the following lengthy exchange, I ended up stopping by to witness the creation myself:

"When will it be ready?"

"Tonight"

It took Jay another two hours to finish the job, but me standing around, for two hours in a bike shop, is like a kid in a candy store or Imelda Marcus and Kimora Lee Simmons in a Louboutin factory.
