No ride today but two laps yesterday and one went further to the grocery store. So my saddle was sore, and I wasn't too upset I wasn't able to ride today. Here though is why I missed it.

I came downstairs this morning to find the entire downstairs TP'd. Thinking ahead to how SWMBO would react, I decided to just clean it up. It only took a few minutes. She has been funny about being at least one box ahead on TP since Covid, and she buys the good stuff, and she'd be upset about being attacked... I wanted to just head it off. As I was cleaning it up, I found 11yo asleep on the couch. He woke up and the first thing out of his mouth was, his little brother and sister didn't get to see it! He was being a spider in his web, and he'd been inspired to the prank by watching the Casper movie with Christina Ricci. As I was making breakfast I chatted with him about why he'd been in a mood the night before - and overcooked my bacon, and had to start over. Between a 10 minute snooze, picking up the TP, and redoing breakfast, I wasn't going to be able to ride in time for my 7am meeting. When I got to work my 7am meeting had been canceled at 645.
