The Frozen Chosen One


Cold, cold ride this morning (35 degrees on the bike computer). Woke up before 0500 after getting to sleep after 0000, yet had the uncontrollable urge to ride. The Bride and I spent some time getting lights on my bike because it was still pitch black outside when I hit the road. A sweater, two shirts, sweat pants, and a stocking cap kept the cold out except for places that were exposed (neck, fingers, etc.), so I was pretty well frozen by the time I got to Raley's via Curry. After two minutes inside there, my frozen sweat melted then froze again when I rode to the gym. Soaked in the spa for a long while.

Work is interesting. We're getting a new phone system and there's workmen right next to my desk tearing down temporary walls and reconfiguring rooms to make more offices. We're on a help desk that lives/dies by the phone, and the construction dudes are making a lot of noise. At least it's keeping me awake.

And somehow I gained four pounds over the weekend. Time to get a new scale.

Edit: Wow! - From CNN Breaking News: "House Majority Leader Tom DeLay indicted on one count of criminal conspiracy by Texas grand jury, according to Travis County clerk's office."
