A bit late, to be sure, but we’re getting them. The lawn likes the weather, as do the flowers, but I’d just as soon have sunny and 70, thanks all the same. Getting your vitamin D from the pharmacy just isn’t the same somehow.
I need to log some serious miles between now and May, too. I’m signed up for some extra duty at VeloNews.com, helping with coverage of the Giro d’Italia and the Amgen Tour of California. This always sounds like a good idea (more money) but rarely is (more work). If I wanted to work, I’d get a job.
However, as Herself reminds me loudly and frequently, somebody around here spent a ton of money on bike parts recently, and the piper must be paid. Maybe I could institute a “Barter for Bike Parts” program. Y’know, trade a Rhode Island Red for some SRAM Red. I hear this sort of thing is all the rage in certain circles.
