It seemes like my hibernation instinct must have kicked in last night. After tolerating a dull headache all day at work, I finally took a Motrin and washed it down with a glass of wine. By 9:30 I was out for the count. I must have needed a break, because when the alarm went off this morning I thought I'd try and get in just a few more minutes of sleep. That really never works, does it? Naturally I finally awoke too late to get in a ride.
The Daughter's MRI didn't show any major damage, but she's injured a ligament or something and won't be able to handle any landings for a while. On the one hand, she's relieved that she didn't tear anything important, while on the other she's disappointed that she probably won't be able to compete for a while. They're going to try some knee-taping to see if they can tighten up that knee. After a couple of surgeries, the joint has become rather "loose," and that's what contributed to this injury.
Well, with all the elections coming up, the "Katrina response" is all over the news. Everyone's trying to point fingers at everyone else, mostly for political purposes. What else is new?
Oh well. There's always the Giro ride tomorrow, weather permitting. Rumor has it that the Levee Board is about to start ripping up parts of Lakeshore Drive to make repairs.

Hey, you should try to do the McMinnville, TN stage race this May. Don't know how far the drive would be from NO, but it's gotta be closer than STL? The road race is an awesome course! The time trial is uphill, but the criterium kind of sucks, as it is a "parking lot" crit. But the RR makes it all worthwhile.
Yeah, I always wanted to do Highland Rim. It's been a long time since I raced in TN.
