Wish I were in Dallas this morning to ride with @donmilleris
Been a really good week. Couldn’t have asked for a better ending. Still have to work tomorrow. Going to stay in Seattle until 6th.
Time to hit the ground running.
Wow, never seen ping times like 1598.207 ms, 1982.730 ms, 1858.272 ms. Mostly useless, I’d say.
heading out of the heat, heading to Seattle.
Morning could have been better. For instance, running water would have really improved things.
My VW dealership got an extreme makeover by renovating an old BMW dealership. I love it. Appreciate the free WiFi and made-to-order coffee.

Going to Waffle House is liking going back in time to the 1970s. At least, I like to think so. I wouldn’t know.
At the most unlikely of places—a country western bar/club.

Well, so much for having motivation to do anything at all.
Thinking about washing my car and getting a hair cut today. If I’m really adventurous, my car needs a good wax.
Stuck with a pair of Shure headphones that I don’t like. Ugh.
I miss living up on the north side of the metroplex. Def going to have to move back here in 2009.
Just did a 55 mi ride up in Collin County. Good weather for a ride, except the painful (windy) rain for 10 miles. Glad to be outside.
Head to Plano to work for a few hours until my dad arrives from Houston. First stop: Starbucks.
Finished watching Carrier from PBS. Great series—great music and stories. Find it on iTunes.

Going to miss working from home with a constant stream of music and all the OJ I can drink.
Got my schedule for the next few months: Dallas 2wk, Seattle 1wk, Carson Valley 1wk, South Carolina 6mo. Should be quite a ride.

Made it home and am watching WWDC keynote with a tasty screwdriver in hand.
Was home for about 9 hours then flew to Arkansas for 1 day of work tomorrow. Rest of week? Back in Dallas.

Most rushed, freaked out airplane trip ever. But made it on plane.
I hereby christen today: Late and Delayed Day.
