glad you're back - i was kind of wondering.

yowsers. i could not sleep last night. i don't know; maybe it was because i had to drive yesterday when i could have been perfectly fine on the bike. the days when i drive because i'm coming unglued don't give me that side-effect, so maybe. anyway, it sure felt more normal to get up and ride to work today, even on two hours' sleep. the morning was cool and soft and grey; really really really nice. evening felt colder but wasn't, with just a touch of headwind in places. got stuck behind an oblivious pedestrian near the top of the bridge, but i was feeling pretty mellow and yeah. maybe a bit sleep-deprived. just dawdled along behind him for a few hundred metres, trying out a 'HEY THERE!' every now and again. used the time to practice my balancing, and try to figure out what's up with that one leg that aches all the time. i dunno; i think maybe the cold is getting into my hip and my knee. feels like stiff joints and/or stiff ligaments; nothing much else is wrong. bleh. just one darned thing after another, this life.

foursome overheard in the health club today:

'and this is grace, and this is helen, and this is . . . are you marjorie?'
'no, i'm me.'
