Went down to the park and did the same ride again. I meant to go down to the other park I ended at last time and start from there, but I got up late this morning and by ~8.00 when I was on the road the traffic was preposterous.

33 minutes, 5.72 miles. Tried out the new padded shorts I got at REI yesterday, and they seemed a bit unnecessary. I think I'll save them for long trips; I can see where they might be nice for that.

Usually I need a shower when I get back, but today Rupert did as well! I had gotten some lube and given him a through oiling, but the trail was so muddy I had to wash him off when I got back, so after I dried him I lubed him up again, just to be on the safe side. Like they say in all the instructional videos, "There's no such thing as too much lube!" ;-)

More later about other stuff; thank heavens for nice housemates and retail therapy, is all I can say.

DC United will be playing host to FC Dallas this weekend (Saturday, 7.30 pm start). Anyone like to come watch? I've got an extra ticket. I'll be working the Screaming Eagles tailgate beforehand, in Lot 8.

OK, so at least my scheduling is a little simpler after last week. :-/

And I'm feeling a yen to travel. So, planning is back on for my late summer/fall trip. I know the assembled multitude voted for the islands last poll (either the Hebrides or the Orkneys), but since I have friends alogn the east coast who I'd like to at least say "hi!" to, I'm thinking I might try exploring that region this time around. I also want to stay far away from Scary Midge-Dom if I'm anywhere near Bitey Season, and so the easter the better :-)

Must save leave days! And cash.

So, it looks like I will have an extra ticket for this concert Friday at GW's Lisner Auditorium at 7.30 pm. Anyone like to go with me? They're a very fun folk-rock group from Newfoundland. More info about them at the Great Big Sea website.
