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!

I'm soooo tired...

Wow - I commuted to Bothell today by bike (since I didn't get my ride in on Sunday, I really needed to) and while the to was just dandy the fro was killer! My left knee was aching from mile one. Early days, early days.

Speaking of killer, Otis is upstairs doing her best to make her head asplode a la Cronenburg. She has a stack of papers on Huckleberry Finn to grade, and, as usual, she put them off in order to "build her motivation." She has about motivated herself into a coma over the past couple of days.

But on the good news side, Otis received her PIN from the massage overlords and scheduled her licensing exam for Wednesday, Aril 19th. Yay!

Hey, how come none of you mugs mentioned that I still had the Maui widget in the sidebar? I have replaced it with a little moral instruction.

Finally, here's an article by Sy Hersch that previews the next war that the current regime seems likely to get us into. I can only sigh and hope some Democrat somewhere grows a pair.
