Monday Report

Hooked up with Brian this afternoon to get some Chinese food with him and his girlfriend. I need a nickname for her; I’ll call her Super C like the old Contra game. Evidently, it’s on Nintendo Virtual Console! Brian gave me $200 that he swore he owed me from a long time ago. I am 150% certain that I have never loaned him money but I trust his memory and so I took it.  Our meetings have become fewer and further between since the two of them moved in far from the Haystack, but perhaps I ought to head out to her place more often!

Tomorrow will be my second day biking to work.  Riding for real in the street with a functional bike and a helmet, making the hand turn signals and irritating drivers who don’t know how to cope with an unprotected dude whizzing down the middle of the road is pretty exhilarating.  And, of course, there are the gasoline and exercise benefits.  I spent a good 20 minutes browsing and trying on helmets and I still ended up getting one that makes me look like a complete spaz, but I suppose I’m only a spaz if I hit a pothole and go flying.
