Wasn't planning to ride today, as my wife had the first OB appointment this morning and I went along (dutiful dad-to-be!). But, after hearing the heart beat for the first time and seeing an early ultrasound, for some reason I just felt really energized. Imagine that!

Riding in 3 hours later than usual was...weird. Like one of those post-apocalyptic movies, where normally busy streets are mostly deserted. Still, despite there being much less volume of cars than usual, 2 people did the close-pass-then-cut-in-front move. One of them was a postal service delivery truck. I was tempted to report him, but I was in too good a mood.
