Vacation

For those of you who don't know, I'm going to Spain on Sept. 30th. I'm spending 2-3 days in Barcelona, then heading northeast to Madremanya and S’Agaró do some cycling and touring near the Pyrenees and along the coast of the Mediterranean. This is going to turn into my travel blog for the time that I am in Spain. I will post short blogs and pictures when I get the opportunity. Enjoy!!

Happy Monday

I had 3 sessions when I left the house this morning. One of them was canceled, which I didn't know about until I showed up at the office for it. I took the rare opportunity to finish my day early (billable hours sucked today). I got home at 4:35 and was ready to ride until it was dark out. But no, my front wheel was flat. I replaced that tube, pulled a thorn from my tire, and put on a new tube. Okay, ready to roll out again. Nope... After pumping up the 2nd tube the air valve ripped off when I took the bike pump off. Tube #2 flat. I put on a third tube, but called it then. No bike ride for me today. The good news is I'm perfecting my ability to change flats. I guess I'll have to settle for a run instead.

In other news: Work is work. Ask if you want to know more. But don't ask me about the autism "diet." I don't know much about it. We have a new roommate moving in next weekend. She's a Ph.D (lit) student at UCSD. I've come to the conclusion there aren't enough hours in the day to do what I want, especially on weekends. Things are going quite well with Kelley and I. And my daily GRE prep has begun.
