till the big road race. which really, afterall, is just a road race. a really freaking cool one, but when it comes down to it, it is a hard (is there ever an easy one?) long race over some amazing roads and a couple hills.
My parents are here visiting - doing a concert at the Peace Abbey in Sherborn Mass tonight, and then playing in Sutton Mass on Sunday IIRC, springfield MA on monday... the stuff is probably on their web page, magicalstrings.com. With them here the planned workout didn't get done - i went for a walk and talked and cooked and all that with them instead. Worth it, yes. No question.
Made a couple of killer meals the last two nights. Probably the best peanut sauce I've ever made and then a crazy good version of the easy chicken tikka masala from the ATC folks, except i used turkey instead of chicken and rather than purchase a garam masala spice mix i mixed up my own. tweaking it a bit from last time. Loads of fresh ginger in both meals. Lots of rice. Super amazing balance of flavors. And the turkey was sooo tender and juicy.
The girls woke up late but laughing with my folks right now. Just before the second one came downstairs i had to do a quick starling nest intervention. Seems the PO of the house did some blowing in of the insulation and well one of the shingles flipped down leaving a perfect starling size hole in the side of the house. My folks hear the birds chattering about and then what sounded like a squirrel inside the house. I went out to find a starling squeezing out of the hole in the side of the house and one of the shingles flipped down. Ah damnit. Couple raps on the wall to make sure it was empty and a quick flip up of the offending shingle and a extra finishing nail to tack it into place. No more flipping damn starlings. Sorry birds, not inside my house.
Tomorrow will be come and gone before too long... in the mean time it looks good to get on the bike if only on the trainer for an opener a bit.
time to see about making some breakfast goodness. bacon and omelets? sausage and scrambled eggs? waffles and bacon? just waffles? (we had kick ass pancakes yesterday) or some combo or all of the above... well it isn't going to happen with me sitting here.

The Sutton show is maybe 10 minutes from where I grew up... too bad I'm booked flat out all weekend or I'd check it out. Have fun tomorrow... I'll set aside a couple hours to read the recap on Monday :)
