Reset

Things came to a halt over the weekend and none of us could really motivate enough to get in a car and drive 2 hours at 6am on Sunday for cyclocross racing, so we slept in till 9am instead.
I went for a road ride and boy is my endurance shot. I did what normally takes me about two and half hours or so and it took me a little over three.
Saturday, Lulu and I walked in a parade - the Oakland Christmas parade. Which I'd never even heard of until Lulu's brownie troop mentioned walking in it. I've lived in Oakland and Berkeley for almost 17 years and I'd never heard of it.
And I must say, it was quite grand.
Scraper bikes and all.

And today I spent some time in the garden. Pruned and primped the perennials and cut down some smallish eucalyptus trees and rode my bike and sent off some resumes and picked the kids up from school and took them to tennis lessons and made a nice dinner and even cleaned up the dishes.
Tomorrow morning when I take the kids to school, I'm going to bring the open top mug full of coffee and walk real slow and talk to everyone I see.
