We did the same in March of last year. This year's trip will end on our 21st wedding anniversary, and we've booked the same week for next year.

I'll be taking my gravel bike with 2 sets of wheels - one with 32mm road tires, one with 40mm gravel tires. I'm hoping to get in at least 3 rides.

That blackout we had a couple days ago. Turns out most of central Mexico was out. Lots of finger pointing. The president said he had just overhauled the system, and he did build a couple new power plants and got some natural gas lines. We’re told to expect rolling blackouts and brownouts. Today we lost it a few minutes after four, as folks got home from work and powered up their houses. A brownout today, and only for a half hour.
the simple fix would be to just turn the heat down a little bit.

The rant of a pissed off Doug is a thing to behold.
I will say, the Vig of weddings in that part of the country are not a cheap thing. Those wedding halls in upstate NY and NJ are ridiculous, and have chefs that are regulars on the Food Network. You don't "get to attend" unless you have some healthy disposable income.
I know I've said it before, but I hope stuff gets dialed in soon.

Or more likely the prednisone.
Woke up at 2. Watched music videos and other mindless stuff until 3:30. Started feeling a bit drowsy so I went back to bed, but alas I remained awake at least another 1/2 hour before dozing off for a while. Got up at 5 again for a while. Rinse, repeat.

Nope. I didn't know she sings.
I think it can be if you're only attending the wedding, not involved in it.

Today is graduation day at USC. Heidi is allowed to the ceremony but she will not be awarded her degree yet. We have to wait for administration to address these silly charges against her and we have no idea how long that process takes.
The “big” graduation ceremony is canceled but her school (School of Cinematic Arts) will have its ceremony in the Shrine Auditorium which is not even technically on campus so her “ban” from campus would not even be a barrier. It’s still a mess but we are trying to stay positive.

How did I miss out on the leather handlebar tape thread? Retirement has made me soft.
