The weather here could not be more pleasant. With my office's seasonal slowdown, I'm not kiling myself to get in early so I'm enjoying the ride. I think tomorrow I'm going to stop for an espresso at a cafe I pass by everyday. Life is good.

I'd like to leave early enough to get in an extra 10-20 on the way to work but I hate to have to put the pup out while it's still dark. I suppose she'd survive but those big brown eyes just kill me.

Going long on the way home isn't an option this week, either, what with the Giants game starting at 5:20pm California time.
