So, our telecom provider is onsite today for is bi-monthly maintenance visit. As we were walking back to the server room he says “So, when’s the baby due?” … WHAT THE FUCK? I mean, really. I know I’ve gained some weight recently but COME ON!!!
Guess maybe I should have ridden in the rain today aferall .. geesh.. How insulting!
On a different note, Laura found this awesome race that we’re going to shoot for at the end of the summer. Ore To Shore
Wish us luck!

I am so getting into this biking thing .. its really weird.. I think I never did it enough before to really enjoy it. Something has clicked, and I just want to ride and ride. And I want to learn about bikes and fix ‘em and maintain ‘em. Man, I’m psyched today. woo hoo! And even better, it looks like the weather might hold out and I might get to ride at lunch after all!

In keeping with the motivation factor, today I actually brought my bike with me to work. And clothes to change into. And I actually went for a 30 minute bike ride on my lunch break. I was hoping to go further, but apparently its much hillier in this neck of the woods than I had realized, and therefore I got tired out pretty quickly.

How hard is it to write a freeware program that is a simple countdown timer like the ones you get with a wrist watch? A free countdown timer, now that’s easy to find. A countdown timer that repeats after its finished? Well, that’s not so easy. Well, I take that back.. I did find a big dog of a program that will do it, but after 14 days it will stop working unless I pay $25!! for a silly countdown timer, get real!

A half century ago, Edmund Hillary, a beekeeper from New Zealand, and Tenzing Norgay, a Sherpa from Nepal, reached the top of Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. To mark next month’s anniversary of that epic ascent, their sons returned to Everest to understand what it must have been like for the two men who did it first.

Dear Friend,
I have recently realized that I sometimes take people, friends, for granted. In some cases, that friend gets hurt. My friendship with you in particular went terribly ignored by me without the sense to regard your feelings in the matter. Our friendship was somewhat off and on through high school, but you were always there when I needed a friend — no matter what I had done (or neglected to do) in the past. And when I went away to college, I somehow believed myself to be “too good” for the likes of this town – which included you and our friendship. You tried, I realize now, to hold on, but I pushed you away. I wish, at the time, I could have seen what I was doing. I hate to think I might have hurt you in any way.

I had a revolation the other day .. the reason why I spend so much time on the couch watching TV is because that is the only place where I can really relax.
Sitting in a restaurant drinking coffee, sitting in the bookstore, sitting in the steam room at the gym. My mind says over and over, “its time to go, you have things to do”… but when I get home, I’m so freakin tired, I just want to sit on the couch and watch TV because then I can relax… Although, then maybe I relax too much, because we don’t have any clean clothes, and the bills need to be paid…
ugh… I need a vacation.

This day started off with a bang .. lunch was here before I knew it. Since lunch, however, its as if my clock is stuck. Its been 2:15 for a very long time.
I’d really like to go home now..
