Something I ate last night did not agree with my stomach. I tossed and turned all night and have been spewing death ever since. Blech.

I'll head into the office for a 1/2 day today, show my face. Not that I want to of course.

How wonderful to see you all!! :wub:

WFH today. Got up early for a swim and dragged the wife along. The place is usually pretty busy at 6:00 AM but this morning there was just one other swimmer there for whatever reason.

where the trails are
got a council of turkey vultures chillin all over the back yard. must be something dead in the creek behind the house.
What's a group of turkey vultures called?
When you see a flock of vultures in flight, you're witnessing a kettle of vultures. When you see vultures at rest in a tree or on a fence post, that's a committee of vultures. And since vultures feed mainly on dead animals, when you see a group feeding, you're in the presence of a wake of vultures.

I ate some candy last night, which I don't do often, and now my stomach feels like its being squeezed into a prune. :dead:


Anyways....snow, you aren't melting very fast. Please up the pace.

Fat biking tonight, should be interesting. Hopefully no ice.

Id think twice about going in. I have been told there is some stomach bug going around, and after having been firing out both ends last week with immense stomach pains, I believe it.

at the office today, but have to leave at 2 for an appointment with my boy. I drove in since I have to pick him up at school. opted not to pay for parking, so I will have to move the car 3x since it's only 1h and 2h parking around here...

had what may have been my best skate ski ever last night. the snow was fast (refrozen fresh snow, freshly groomed), I had new skis, and the shop put on some awesome wax. The trails at my kids club are really windy and up and down. when the snow is fast like that, it can be like riding a flow trail, at night, through the forest (minus the jumps I guess). it was awesome. however, I slept like crap afterwards, as I always do after particularly vigorous evening exercise...

In a van.... down by the river
Pleased this morning to see the local loop was getting repaved and then I read this:

"But it won’t address the real problem with the loop, which is obviously men in their 40s trying to ignore the disquieting passage of time and the body’s slow decay by biking at competitive speeds very close to where I am walking."

:rofl:

Going skiing with middle kid and wife. We pull each kid at least one midweek day to have a special ski day with just them and us. Snow won’t be anything special but should be pleasant temps and we can carve up some groomers.

I really do need to remember that if I have to wear sunglasses in the woods because the trees are still bare then I should slather my pasty self with sunscreen. Because now I have a sunburn. On half of my face. My nose and entire left side are currently impersonating a lobster. Yay
