I had planned on riding this morning, but late last night I checked my calendar and discovered a scheduled dermatologist appointment I'd forgotten about. I was up at 5 a.m. to drive The Wife to the airport (wasn't I just there??) for a trip up D.C. to pitch for the APA to various congressional staffers. There just wasn't enough time to get in a ride and still make the appointment. Just as well, perhaps, since my calves are sore as hell. I guess it was from running up and down the stands at the meet when I was moving around trying to take a few decent photos of the meet. That, combined with a lot of walking all day Saturday must have done some damage.
I attended a little PR ceremony across the street this morning to mark the start of demolition of a building to make space for our new Bio-innovation Center that will house our Gene Therapy Consortium, among other things. They had all the local TV stations out, and the mayor various other city and state officials got their photo opps in. After the talking, they had a Jazz Band to a mock Jazz funeral march over to a different podium where they had an antique explosives plunger rigged up to some sort of pyrotechnic that exploded confetti all over the place. It was kind of neat, actually. Anyway, I scored a couple of free "meeting cookies" and a coke!
The Tour le Fleur is on for next weekend and it looks like we'll have a good turnout from the club. Now if I can just get back in shape after all this down time . . .
