Alle-Jet, this reminded me of you when I came across it on another cycling forum.

Oddly enough, even though I have not been working since the beginning of Oct, I have hardly been riding. I find myself so busy catching up on all the stuff around the house that was neglected for the past 15 years, the day will have gone by and I think to myself, shoot, I meant to go for a ride. Also, oddly, I've lost 5 pounds with out doing anything. So I'm in the weights good - not riding much category.

Oh boy, bed bugs. We had them last year. My niece gave us a mattress she didn't have room for & we put in our guest room. About 3 months after, she found out she had a bad infestation, and, then, surprise, so did we. I wouldn't wish bed bugs on my worst enemy (well ,maybe this one woman I use to work with).

Good night, sleep tight,
Don’t let the bedbugs bite.
And if they do
Then take your shoe
And knock ‘em ‘til
They’re black and blue!

So besides being bugged, I do need to increase my riding time.

That video hits too close to home! I showed it to my wife and she kept elbowing me every time that we have had a similar conversation.

It was a beautiful weekend and I spent it cooking instead of riding. Now that i feel like I have things under control I'll go out tomorrow and Tues if the weather holds.

My wife would freak about bedbugs. One of our kids was looking at an apartment in Boston that was on the bedbug registry and we told her to keep looking. Lots of my son's coworkers are having problems with them. With all the schools and students switching around Boston seems to have a major issue with them.
