Plan A

Not a perfect child of God here. Not even close. Started the day with the absolute promise to myself to do school work first thing. Had a veggie omelet with The Bride, then got situated, got organized...then looked outside. Oh my. Lots of sun and no clouds and no wind. Sadly, I thought to myself, I have to work. Hands on the keyboard. Another look. Then realized I needed an new semester binder to organize the papers and syllabi for my three classes, but The Bride had the truck...

So much for Plan A.

It was very nice out there (68 degrees per the biking computer). Avoiding the frozen mistakes of yesterday, started off in fleece and insulated biking gloves, but got rid of those soon enough. Went south on King and Curry to Office Depot, then north on Carson to Safeway, then south on the main drag (sidewalk) and Curry to Fifth Street. Up the hill, then home. Riding on sidewalks is a mortal biking sin, but Carson is too narrow for cars and bikes and, besides, it's fast and fun.

By the by, The Bride and I've been married way too long. She must have known I was going to play hookey because check out the DVD she bought me this morning.

Edit: Actually doing class work and found one of my students has withdrawn after one class. AARRGGHH! WNCC has an open-drop policy that basically states students can walk away at any time, but it's only been one frickin' class! *insert deep, cleansing breaths here*
