Waiting at the red light, Sheldon confronted himself, presented always in greytones, never fire engine red, never racer blue.
He smiled at his silhouette. What a fine set of spokes he had, water bottle ready, that comfortable saddle, soft as a cloud. Sheldon, always two dimensional and environmentally friendly and always, a shadow of himself.

This 55 is totally inspired by the photograph above, taken by a friend. Isn't it a cool shot?
(As RennyBA would say, taken from a NOKIA mobile phone, hey, does that guy get a cut from NOKIA everytime he mentions?)
Let me know if you played today, and I'll send the posse over!

I played but used it to wish Top Cat a happy birthday. I guess it counts. Now did you actually beat G-Man to the punch. Congrats. Oh and love the picture/55. They do work very well together.
No but YOU did Birthday Boy!!!

(I'm up too :))
I LOVE the vibrant colour imagery and the mood and emotion the colours create within.
And I love the name Sheldon.
The pic is great.
I played!
I HAD a pic to go with mine...added after I wrote it though...but I couldn't get the pic to post for some reason so I am going to try and add it later when my comp isn't being quite an ass. For now, my 55 is pic-less. But, that is okay.
And now to go check-out other 55's....
Mwahahahahahahah.... Fun!
I love it, Susie!! So "colorful".
I played along today, also.
SUSIE! you are awesome! I love how sheldon prefers the gray to colourful. Isnt it like that, our life? Not black nor white, just plain gray!
too cute and oh so clever.
Thats great! It is so happy and carefree.
Susie,
Great story and inspiring photo.
I bit the bullet and gave it a shot. But go easy on me, I'm a 55 virgin!
Hi Susie - I love your story. It reminds me of one of my favorite movies, *Stranger Than Fiction*. Have you seen it? Sheldon smacks of Harold Crick.
Mine is up.
I love this idea so much. It is such a challenge to pack it all into 55 words -- Talk about economy of language.
Thanks,

Artistic picture and very poetic!
Btw: No, I don't get a cut from Nokia, I'm just very, very dedicated so watch our next time I call you:-)
Have a great weekend!
That is a awesome photo..I love bicycle wheels anyway...not sure why-all the spokes I guess.
stop by and say hi sometime~
Susie,
Thanks for stopping by. I'll play again... in fact, I just got through writing it! What can I say... I was inspired!
