Scott Peck said once something to the effect that life is hard, and once you come to terms with that, life isn't so hard.

In contemporary vernacular, life sucks, so get over it.

Part of the problem is that I'd really like to be out cycling, but I'm sitting in my office doing admin work. I wish I could blame it on Obamacare, and I will. But it's not Obama's fault, really. I should have been doing this stuff yesterday but my chronic fatigue caught up with me.

Instead I'm eating left-over Halloween candy. Even when I finish up here, my life will continue to be a suckfest this weekend: we discovered bedbugs in three of our rooms, so we're having to clear the house so it can be nuked on Monday and my wife is losing it.

How did the critters gain access to our house? We're not sure, but two of my offspring have done inner city mission work this summer, including overnight stays, so we're guessing that was the source. No good deed goes unpunished, I suppose.

So, as we head into the Holiday Season, how would you see your current status vis a vis cycling? And will you be voting for Bristol on Monday?
