bike

Rupert and I took a quick spin this morning. Trying to get back on the "every day" plan. I skipped the sidestreets because it's late (and getting later), but I did take the cut-through and go out as far as Gallows. Yay, bike!

Shower time...

...oh, and...

Could someone tell my W-2 to frickin' hurry up and get here?

infirmities

OK, the occasional feeling between an itch and a needle being driven into the ball of my foot I can get used to. The occasional weather-ache I just accept. The left hip muscle is taking time to recover from too much being asked of it; I just hope the left elbow doesn't take as long. And I realise that once I injure my MCLs they would always hurt a little occasionally. Skin tags are annoying and ugly, and I wish I could afford to just have them removed whenever they show up, whether "they'll just come back" or not. I can subscribe to all the lies men have told themselves throughout history about how thinning hair is jsut a sign of increasing manliness.

But, you know, I think that at 42, getting a pimple is just unfair. Especially when it's someplace embarassing and dashed uncomfortable.

Dan Halutz has resigned

story from the BBC

Short of seeing him on trial at The Hague for war crimes, that's about as much as I could hope. A small step, but a step int he right direction at least.
