Today marked day one of maximizing not racing in Kentucky: doing homework; organizing papers, bike parts, and clothes; rearranging furniture; cleaning the car; replacing the saddle on my commuter bike (pictured); doing core work at the gym; going for a pedal up my local hill; and even writing a few postcards. And drinking tea. I wish I could zip my way out to the Bay Area Halloween Race this weekend (or is it next?) - seems like a cross classic not to be missed. Racing in animal feet with tiaras etc. Following that election, hoping people (well, those voting for my candidate...) don't get lazy and forget to vote. Get that done and start solving these economic woes. Bike racer me rejoices in low gas prices; enviro me bemoans the loss of incentive for renewables.

saaaaay! went to the recital. heard beethoven's trio in Bb for clarinet, cello and piano, opus 11 (1796) and brahms' trio in A minor for clarinet, cello and piano, opus 114 (1891). wow! culture! still like debussey better. so there! you're going to the wrong school to be an environmentalist. should be going to cornell.
