Observations

We suck at updating with anything worth reading.

My wife is good crazy. She rode 2.5 hours last night in the pouring rain and darkness. I did not. I stayed home and sauteed sea scallops by the stove side. She rides. I eat. Someone needs to sacrifice and I'm just the man for the job.

We're building new trail in Michaux. Sanctioned trail. That's awesome. First work day is tomorrow. Good times. I hope to see more of this in a closer future.

Sometime this year I should start riding my bikes. I keep waiting for unicorns and rainbows. Donna makes her own. I should follow her lead. But this month is more trail building and firewood than anything else.

And then...pottery. Yes, I'm saying it here. My goal is to start ceramicizing again this year. Hold me to it. Bug me. Ask me how it's going. I've been slacking too long. Putting together plans for a wedging table right now. Burly. Lots of wood. Lots of plaster. After that, installation of the clay trap my parents bought me a year+ ago. And then I have no excuse to start throwing.

Let's hear it for daylight savings time. Next week maybe we can consider an after work bike jaunt without luminaries. Go away, winter.

I'll just keep thinking you're staying off the bike so I have a better chance of keeping up after my long bikeless stint in Sin City...

I thought you sold your bikes for Root???? Either way, I've officially now have got 14 road miles on the legs for 2011....so you can start riding whenever the rainbows come out and still come out ahead. I thought you had a rainbow sticker on the back of your truck...was I wrong?
