All Hallows Day Ride

Wasn't feeling too sharp for this morning's All Saints Day ride. Considering the large amounts of wine, finger food and candy consumed Halloween night, I shouldn't have been too surprised, though. Nonetheless, I made it out to the ride just in the nick of time, and after a few miles passed I was feeling much better. Today's ride was a simple, steady and uncomplicated paceline. Even the guy wearing the running shoes with toe clips seemed steady.

So the trick-or-treater turnout on Neron Place last night was pretty strong, and we had most of the folks on the block up on our front porch by the time things on the street began to wind down. The Wife had gone out and bought a lot of food and candy - as usual, more than really needed - and so I spent a few hours shuttling between the spread on the dining room table and the wine on the front porch. The weather was nice and it was great to see all the little neighborhood kids in their costumes climbing the front stairs under the watchful eyes of their parents. Things seemed pretty normal there for a while. A few more Halloween photos are on my Koday EasyShare page.

After everyone had left, I checked my email and found a fresh one from our VP whose house had just been broken into. Naturally they had stolen her laptop, so we're in a big rush to get another one today.
