I should have ridden today

but it was raining when I was getting ready, so I chickened out, and then it turned out to be nice most of the day, so I felt guilty. Ah, well. What I really need is some decent wet-weather riding gear so I have less of an excuse to chicken out in the first place.

So, tomorrow I will be out and about clocking up the miles and staying on track. Of course, they are predicting rain all weekend, so it remains to be seen whether my will matches my words.

Today was a great teaching day despite (or because of) not having ridden. I have a good, strong class this quarter and they make it a pleasure to be in the classroom.

Yesterday was the exhausting day: Otis and I bounced from the RD to Lake Forest Park to pick up her mom and take her to the airport; since we were down south, we made an Ikea run and while we didn't get any big stuff, we did get some window coverings and other little bits for the home and Otis's practice room. We came back home and then went out to our local Ace hardware on the way to the Crest. (We saw Good Night and Good Luck and liked it.) On the way back from the movies, we needed to stop at Target to get some more junk.

Now, despite all that acquistioning, we're planning to go to a big ol' garage sale coming up in a couple weeks. Like, what else could we need?!

Well, maybe one of these.

Only 48 hours or so until Wheylona is back!

That is so super-hero-ish...way cool!!!

Do they have gortex kilts? You could make one with a really, really big hood......snap, snap and it covers your head and back....that's the ticket.

I just got an emergency call to sub today for someone at Cascadia.....the topic is Irish-American history...this is a great day!
