Early start, 3am to drive wife and Thing 2 to airport for x/c flight. 104 miles on the freeway there and back, then bring sleepy kindergartener thing 2 back into house to resume sacking out until it was time for him to get up and at'em. He was alert enough to have noticed that I jacked his training wheels up to their max height while we were biking to school (why do my front and back wheels reach all the way down and the training wheels don't go that far anymore? I think was the way he phrased it).

Then, partly to atone for a poptart mixed in with the usual cheerios for breakfast, I again tacked on my 10 mile out-and-back past work, even though I was pretty far behind schedule; got in a full 50 min late, what can I say, it's been a crazy day.
