Out of the brine and into the oven. T-minus five hours till tryptophan coma.
TENT W/ FOIL! TENT W/ FOIL!
I enjoy cooking Thanksgiving dinner. I do not enjoy shopping for ingredients, which is why I make my wife do it.
My daughter’s first public speaking performance this morning. Is it possible to have sympathetic stage-fright?
Trying to convert to 1x1 for Jingle Cross. New wheel was too expensive for my “new-economy” budget. Will have to “convert” an existing wheel
I am willing, by rule of law if necessary, to buy myself extra Christmas presents if it will help turn this economy around.
Dear Subway Lady, I asked for mayo, not honey mustard.
Trying hard not to think about this: http://www.lonelydimple.com/articles/14
My mind and legs love long gravel bike rides. My back does not agree.
My new spectacles are giving me a headache.
Truly spectacular day for a gravel ride in Iowa. No hat, no shoe covers … 4+ hours of gravelly goodness.
Everything feels lower today.
Eagerly awaiting tonight’s ride. Feel like I earned it by riding in the dark, cold winds last night.
I am running out of original ideas. Is there some sort of lifetime limit on those things?
Workplace Thanksgiving Meal. Doesn’t feel like work, doesn’t feel like Thanksgiving. Just feels like a church basement.
Think I might have frozen my forehead. It hurts when I look surprised.
Without the internet, I could still know all the things I know now. I just wouldn’t have time to feed myself.
I think that Johan has a man-crush on Lance. http://tinyurl.com/6h7bt5 [Not that there’s anything wrong with that]
Mapping a route for riding in 34 degrees, 30 mph winds, and snow, is a complicated science. Needs a finely-tuned algorithm.
Wish I had the discipline to blog like this http://tinyurl.com/5t23cw
Hoping this rain/41 degrees becomes snow/34 degrees before I have to ride home … I do not like being wet.
my Twitterank is 7.56! http://twitterank.com/?u=lonelydimple
Just say “NO” to Nashville http://tinyurl.com/5cpuud
What is the minimum temp. at which I can still force my children to join me on my bike commute? And does precip. mitigate?
Just finished my laziest weekend of the year. And feel more tired than ever. Sloth begets sloth.
Attempted to “football” w/ Grady … dang, it’s still cold.
Snow shower is currently horizontal. Thinking of the ride home and wishing I lived East of here.
Interesting commute. Lost a pedal. Just came unscrewed. Now searching the office for something that might work as a lubricant. Vinaigrette?
Went for a gravel ride with @wackorobie last night. It emptied me. Just what I needed.

Rode to work. Voted on the way. Still ten minutes early. I feel good.
Please VOTE to save MEDICARE! Who else will work the polls?!
It just doesn’t feel like election day at work. No confetti. No bullhorns. No hanging chads. No campaign buttons. No people with clipboards.
