Sixty

Yesterday evening it finally got cold enough in the house for me to light the old gas heater in the living room. I'll probably have to light the pilot light on the furnace tonight, which, if things go as usual, will mean some minor disassemby and cleaning. Not surprisingly, this morning it was cold and windy, and I didn't have much trouble rationalizing that it would also be a good morning to sleep late, which I happily did. The work-related emails were already flying by 8 a.m., though, and with a deadline looming I'll be chained to the keyboard all day today, maybe with a little break for a plate of Red Beans and Rice. The rest of the week will likely be pretty hectic as well with The Daughter and her friend arriving from Iowa City on Wednesday, and The Brother and his klan also arriving from Orlando for Thanksgiving. By the time we get into December, it will start getting hard to get anything done around here.So I guess I should note, just for posterity, that the old Campi Ergobrain turned over to 60,000 miles during yesterday's ride. There was a brief celebration. I think I hit the 50,000 mark some time last January. This bike computer has basically become a science experiment for me. Will I outlive it, or vice-versa?
