Yesterday evening, a really cute girl left work right in front of me on her SE Lager. I was stuck talking to a bozo who works a couple floors up for a couple minutes after she left and couldn't manage to reel her in before we went different directions. She was fast (and lycra clad but not kit), and I am on my winter beater this week (rear wheel being rebuilt on my Aurora) but I know I could have caught up given another mile. At least it was inspiration.
Then, a couple miles later, I almost lived the Yehuda Moon comic from 2010-06-26 (without the crash) as I came to an intersection. That one got me home in a pretty good mood!
