Why bother?

Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

I couldn't bother this weekend because we were out of town. I was going to bother yesterday after work but I didn't. Not bothering yesterday ended up bothering me so much that I'm going to try and bother right after work today. If it's not too much of a bother, please say a prayer for me.

Why ask why?
Bothering is a constant. "Why" is the question.

This is the first time I've been back here in months, and from what I'm seeing, not much of a reason to bother.
