That's the plan. Peng isn't letting me off the hook with the potential threat of weather. "It won't be any worse than the giro this year. At least it looks like it'll be reasonably warm."
He has a point. Also riding through the relatively rural bits of RI and CT should help turn an avg speed a bit higher than the BOS trips, should be fun.
But yeah, another mid-week, crazy ride. I don't expect it to be all day but then I never know what to expect. Hopefully the early departure will make it all work. And the rains hold off a bit.
We'll see.
Ezra isn't a big fan of the new Flickr, i suppose with a Pro account, how it works and looks is far more important than the 'free terrabyte' of storage they are offering now. Reaction to the change has been pretty polarized. People love it or hate it. I kind of am in both. I liked the way it used to look. Like Ezra i've been on it since 2005 more so back then, and like him it was a good source of inspiration and community.

So tonight we've got Wed Night's 'baby' smackdown. Although with the new route it isn't so much a baby and turning into an out of control toddler who's just learned how to walk and you haven't realized how much damn trouble they get into once they start moving that quickly on two legs and can reach stuff. Winds up being at the limit most of the ride. Which is really pretty good. Maybe we add another sick loop in when July rolls around.
Anyone's welcome to join. If you're faster than us, come hang out, if you get dropped, keep coming back until you don't.
If you haven't watched this video... you should.
These stories are not unquie. Ezra is living much the same way, but with a different case it seems, and with a different maturity, esp the point to what happens if you DON'T die when they say you do?
There was that old movie from the early 90s... '93 to be exact with Michael Keaton and Nichole Kidman. Wasn't a great movie, wasn't terrible. Kind of a holywood version of that vid i posted, or the Last Lecture, or any number of examples.
Those stories resonate. Much the way the This Is Water video (removed from Vimeo under the claim that the material is infringing) does (the full length original speech is still up)
They reflect an ideal that we can often ignore, lose sight of, forget, without the pressure of the finality of death.
We all go through life, knowing we're all going to die. That's a fact, immutable, undeniable. It happens.
What do you do between now and then? What are you creating to leave behind, to work to make this place better than when you got here?
How do you make it work without getting wrapped up in the sadness and totality of death.
Age prepares us well for death. Our bodies start to slow down, it seems reflection and perspective improve as you get older, to the point where you can come to terms with your time as a functioning human.
Thoughts and musings I suppose. Beyond the simple, beyond the superficial, but in so many ways should always be linked to the superficial and the simple, they should drive our ever action.
Cookies are made for tomorrow. Was planning to have a few breakfast sandwiches to take but i might be missing a few key ingredients (like english muffins or something that would work in place of it- tortillas are just not the same). And the cookies are good. Added two tablespoons of salt to the recipe. And the full cup of butter and maybe a touch more peanut butter has made for perfectly nice and soft cookies, not hard and crunchy.
Also found that rolling them by hand before flattening makes them a bit smoother on the edges, less prone to crumbles.
They taste yummy.
Very. Yummy.
Hopefully they are close enough to rocket fuel to stay on Peng's wheel.
