Transitions – Lance Armstrong

Lance Armstrong will retire from competitive cycling after this year's Tour de France in July.

Mr. Armstrong, who beat testicular cancer before winning his first Tour in 1999, remains focused on a record seventh win in Paris. He will then call it quits on a 14-year career.

"Le Tour will be my last professional race - win or lose." he said.

Helluva cyclist.

Jseal - you need another word other than "transitions" to use when people move on to other LIVE things... I though the dude had kicked the bucket!!!

It's not over til the fat lady rides a unicycle :D

Well Lil....guess what??? ;)

Where did you get that picture of me :D????????? You can tell it's me by the balloons :p

I will have to agree with Milktoast.When I firt read the title,I thought, Oh my God,We Lost Lance Armstrong? So many of your eloquent posts about the recent deceased have started out "Transitions."

Gentlefolk,

I shall try to be more eloquent about the transitions of the living.

I thought so too,when I read it!At least it would leave Cheryl Crowe
available. Irish

Alas, it would seem that only the deaths leave marks on memories! :(

[Pixies news] In an uplifting Pixie moment Jseal has decided to relegate the word transitions to the postings relating to that oh so touchy subject... DEATH. Many Pixietes were seen dancing in the streets at this transition in though.

How's this one for the blunt approach... for the living transitioning to new things.. keep "transitions"... for those that croaked use "dead"... of course that might be a little too blunt for some. I have talked with a few doctors over the past few years (just conversation, nothing else) and I found it interesting that many of them choose not to use the terms like "passed on" or "left us" and just opt for the much simpler "they died." I am not sure why, but I am guessing it is just the more clinical approach to it. While the whole idea of someone I care about dying does suck I still think of those conversations and find myself wording it like they did.
