Hard to get better than that, esp #13

All the way down the list so good, every one. Not one am I like, nah. 

Discovered, thanks to HooptySteve that I've got all access to the Met's On Demand catalog. Watched my favorite all time opera yesterday while working. Crazy how much extra desk work there way. Managed to finish the Flying Dutchman before the big zoom meeting. Started Das Rheingold last night, finishing it up here at lunch. (Yeah I had redbullTV watching the downhill doing work this morning. This Rheingold production is a bit. Odd. But The Dutchman is a good 2020 story.

Funny how timeless some stories are. And how amazing opera can be - themes and songs and all that. 

Dirt Smackdown tonight. We'll see how it goes, going to try it all SSCX style again. Greasey Joe's gravel grinder is happening on Sunday but I'm feeling more like MTB than doing that same route again. But then maybe would be good to do that route again w/o the first and last 25 miles. Still thinking about that.

long interlude - work seems to be building back to the crazy level. 

But my lights are charged and while i'm kind of hungry i think i've had enough calories for today. Hydration maybe not so ideal but i've got 45 min to fix that.

Remember:

Rule #13: Never, ever, damp The Stoke. Yours or anybody else’s. Did a friend just pick up a box-store bike? Don’t wince. Celebrate with them, help them get to know it, and offer to ride with them. Maybe offer a quick safety check. Did you just settle on a bike a couple steps below the spec you really wanted? Get excited, it’s still New Bike Day! Did your kid just pop their first half-inch wheelie? Hoist them on your shoulders like a Super Bowl MVP. Cycling can be a source for a thousand small celebrations every year. Embrace all of them.
