So as I was standing at the open front door this morning, looking out at a rainy, windy day and on the verge of bagging the bike in favor of the car, my daughter came down the stairs and said "Man up Dad. It's earth Day!".

Now let me tell you, when your teenage daughter has to tell you to "man up" ... wow, that's all I needed! On went the bike clothes and I ended up bucking a headwind all the way to work. Rain was light though so I didn't get too wet. But even with the wind and rain it was a fine commute. I feel so manly!
