Today is a day when I juggle my schedule (prove 'unreliable') to stay on my bike. Could only get a last min dental appt at 11:45 so I'm doing some combination of working from home/sick time rather than driving out for a long lunch. Noon is just the wrong time to bike in early or show up late with the other squeezes on my schedule early and late w/ respect to child drop-off/retrieval.

When they call those things jawbreakers, by the way, they mean it. Or at least tooth-scrapers.
