In the Festive Spirit of Mother's Day, Of Course
Ok, here's something odd. I made a quick run to the local everything under one roof store today. That's not really very strange, other than the fact that it's crowded on a Sunday afternoon and there's no liquor sales. Wait for the odd... While I was there, waiting on line to pay, a largish woman was checking out. Her purchases included some elphantine slinky lingerie and a set of kneepads, like a carpenter would wear. This was making the college girls behind her smirk at each other. They were buying, among other things, feminine hygiene products. This was making the rednecky guy in back of them wince. And there I was, waiting to buy my frosted shredded wheat and watermelon slices.
The cycling report: sunny, 80s, but very windy (naturally). Lauran told me to go on a ride since it was such a nice day. Sort of a Mother's Day present to me. Finally got under 50:00 on my time trial course--48:59. If there was no wind I'm sure it could have been much faster--the entire second half I was working harder than the first, just to go 15 mph!
