Long Day Off

It was cold and windy this morning and it didn't take me long to choose to drop The Wife off at work and take the car to work, which meant skipping my morning ride. The Wife is working a meeting downtown tonight through Sunday morning, and she'll be staying at a hotel for the duration. There will be a party Saturday night, and I'll be there for that, but I guess I'll have to skip out early Sunday in order to make the Northshore training ride.

I knew it would be a long day at work trying to help get a report finished for a meeting on Monday. This is a committee report (well actually a workgroup of a subcommittee of a committee of a commission), and that kind of complicates the writing process. By 10 a.m. our small group of people from the bioscience workgroup were in our "office" for another group writing marathon. We had all been there until around 7 p.m. the night before, and it was looking like it might be a repeat performance today. In fact, we finally gave up around 7:30, having agreed to meet again Saturday morning at 10:00 to try and finish up. A few of us headed over to Cooter Brown's for a beer before heading home, and I readily chose a bottle of Rogue Hazelnut Brown Nectar Ale. By the time I got home it was already after 9 p.m. I'm pretty tired and could really use a break.

Well, not to worry. I'll be out there for the Giro ride Saturday morning, though I'll really have to rush to get to the office for 10:00.
