Well, day one on the new bike, and I didn’t die.\u00a0 Been too long (like, maybe a month?) and it’s DARK out there during the ride home.\u00a0 Only gonna get worse from here on in.\u00a0 I have about a bajillion lights all over my rig, and when I came up behind someone on a dark street, all I could see was the reflective pants cuff thing.\u00a0 And of course, no helmet.\u00a0 Right.\u00a0 Good.\u00a0 Of course, he probably thought I was an idiot for having two lights on my helmet, (wait: THREE!) two on my handlebars, one on the back of my rack, AND little orange lights in my wheels.<\/p>\n
Aside from being seizure inducing, I was also pretty fast, if I do say so myself.<\/p>\n
I’m writing tonight’s post after doing some work, which is “okay,” ’cause it was stuff needed for tomorrow, and I didn’t get to all of it during the day.\u00a0 Had lunch with Nilo at the Curry Express across the street.\u00a0 Weird to be back here again.\u00a0 After being at Blackbox with him all those years ago, it’s like revisiting your high school or something.\u00a0 So what do you do after lunch with one of the creative folks that made Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi (and a million other crazy-famous things you’ve seen)?\u00a0 You go shoe shopping, of course.<\/p>\n
My. Head. Hurts.\u00a0 I think I need more water, but parts of me are certainly saying “no more water – enough already.”\u00a0 Maybe I need to eat something salty to soak up the water?\u00a0 That’s how it works, right?\u00a0 Pretzels?\u00a0 Cheezies?\u00a0 No?\u00a0 Darn.<\/p>\n
Check out the Mo’10 link at the top of this blog, and if you’ve got the financial means, please donate to help with cancer research.\u00a0 Mmkay?\u00a0 Kaythanks.<\/p>\n
And now, I’m going to let my netbook reboot, ’cause I’m tired of typing on it anyway.<\/p>\n
This week: Writing (maybe), Cycling (for sure), Vague Work News, and of course, Photos of the ‘Stache.\u00a0 OH, and I have to edit our first Skyped podcast, which is going to be painful, ’cause I think I managed to make myself INSANELY LOUD in the recording of the show.\u00a0 Whooooooops.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
