blank - not feeling it

I've done a but load of walking today. All in my office footwear, some Birkenstock Bostons. I didn't realize how far away the Music building was from here in the dungeon. Long walk. Then the trek over to lunch and back and then back over to a Cookin' it Local presentation.

That walking had things popping in my head. Ideas that could spawn 500-1000 words alone. But i've been staring at this blankness each time I sit back to my desk or finish an email, or hang up the phone and just stare at it.

The only thing I can remember is the ideas being good. But that's not enough to remember I guess.

Museum of Science in Boston was pretty cool. We skipped over a whole bunch of stuff. I learned a bit mostly from the planetarium show, but it was fun being there with my daughter's class. I drove separately and alone on the way up. Followed the bus because all I had were rough instructions, i'd forgotten to check the map the day before. And that was working great until we turned north there at Braintree and the bus headed to the HOV lane. And I was stuck with the other morons like me driving an empty car. I high tailed it until traffic bogged and then a few minutes later the bus passed me. I made it to the lobby just as instructions were being given. Timing was good. Driving back it was a race to get to Ballet. Why is there stop and go traffic at 3pm? WTF? Seriously. We were a touch late. Not to bad, the girls just missed a touch of warm up but not the rehearsal. But man. Driving sucks. I know how i did it in the past, but I can't really imagine trying to go back to it. That would be really crappy. Riding to work is just an amazing luxury.

We finally got the new team kit. I picked mine up from Skinny yesterday, was going to wear it into work, but with the rain in the AM I thought it might be better to be scientific and wear the last years verge stuff to work and the vermarc stuff home.

Out of the bag the stuff is very different. We'll see if it really is like someone described because I have to take his word, as unlike Marcus I haven't actually worn French lingerie. That sentence is messed up but the elements are there - fuckitall. I'm reluctant to go out and compare publicly the Verge and the Vermarc clothing, because it can't do all good. I'll either be dissing a really amazing and wonderful participant/supporter in the New England Cross scene, or I'll be bitching about a current sponsor. Neither are good options.

The fit is a bit more snug in the Vermarc but the cut of the jersey is longer. And yeah I might be 200-205 now (yeah i've dropped more weight than the rear disc wheel weighs lately) but I still fit in a L jersey/jacket/vest. Bib's gotta be XLs. the Verge XL bibs actually were pretty tight around the leg, we'll see if these are cut any different.

that's more than I thought I had.
