Every vowel in that conversation is a schwa - /ə/ - which, oddly, does not contain a schwa.

Just found this in the catacombs of my desk, back from when we were a smaller company (pre-acquisition). We would get beer for all-hands meeting on Fridays. Most of the staff that contributed to it are gone and there's 95 bucks in it. What should I do?
hmmmm

That's what I'm thinking. Head to the local brewpub and invite only co-workers that I like, and some alumni/former employees (including my wife)

A nap? Or an hour on Zwift? Decisions, decisions.

45 miles outside today, just me and 3 e-bikes. They took it easy and it was appreciated by me. Had some headwind both ways, for some reason.

Personally I'm not a big fan of the play-in games, although I'll probably peek in. I'm accustomed to the tournament beginning on Thursday afternoon, spraying an impossible-to-watch burst of games at us all at once. For two straight days. Now that's Madness.

24 km on the bike this morning and I was barely able to do anything until about 4. How did I fall this far? Nought to do but hop back on that horse, I guess.
What would your Garmin tell you to do. Go out again tomorrow or do a recovery day?

Too much traffic in this part of San Mateo at 6 PM to ride from home, and with the Dodge hors de combat, I'd have to put the bike in the rental, and I ain't got that figured out yet. So it's easier and quicker to just hop on the trainer.
Which is what I did.

Converting to F, any day where it drops below 40F, of which there will be several, is still squarely in winter territory.
