It sucks getting old and having responsibilities and trying to balance everything in our hetic lives. But it's not all bad.
Make sure you schedule time for yourself in and amoung all the other things you've got going on.

I just have to go through every single piece of paper in my possession and decide if it is important enough to keep or not.
And then I have to go through my CDs, books, clothing, cycling stuff, school supplies of various sorts, ornaments, kitchen ware, etc. etc. etc. ... and make the same decision, all with the goal of getting my entire collection of possessions down to 500 cubic feet.
I also need to make a list of people I need to see and places I need to go to make sure I've got everything in place for my upcoming immigration (39 days).
So ........ I went for a 100 km ride instead!

Move someplace you can ride outdoors all year long. That will 2X your time to ride.
Oh also get rid of that work thing .. it's over rated

Taking care of yourself is an investment in the well being of the whole family.
So...invest heavily.
I use that excuse also when buying bike stuff (hehe).

I spent 2 1/2 hours Saturday waiting on a burial...
I am also Town Moderator...
Wife just got off a 3 year stint as Town Auditor...
It sucks living in a small town and being civic minded...
But yesterday I did squeeze in a ride to Brattleboro and back...
Maybe a quick hour spin up to Grafton today...

There are plenty of roads around here that Obama's stimulus money could be well spent...
Be careful on Rt 5...
I was riding from Putney to Brattleboro Sunday 2 weeks ago and a cyclist was hit from behind by a teenager looking at her GPS the day before...
Very scary...
