Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

It's interesting how many obscure brands there are out there, yet there's always somebody who makes them a favorite.
Bourbon is okay in general and the good ones are good, but I find it too sweet to drink often, especially before dinner.

And now it's official: I'm on self-isolation and monitoring for 14 days. I am supposed to check in every morning.

So I step away for a bit and the world ends. Sorry everybody.

In other news, I crashed while running and my ribs are bruised to hell, but I'm not going into the dr's right now.

Just flip them

Got it in one. Was running a bit kinda too injured with my heel/calf, toe dragging just a hair. Saw two dogs sniffing noses and being cute, was distracted for just a second... and it was right when the concrete started with a 1" lip. Caught it, went down, finished another 8+ miles because I am stupid Tried this morning off the bike and hurt in six steps. But hey, it's not like Choo70.3 is going to happen anyway. It's not officially cancelled, but I can't imagine it will be allowed.

And so with all this I decided to give Assassin's Creed III a play-through. Now, I had mixed it up with II in my head and was all fired up to go adventuring through Italy. Anyone want to guess how much I liked discovering I was going to be playing in Boston?

Yep. Flood warnings are already popping up on my phone and computer. Then, the cold comes back.

P.S. Hope you heal soon.

Glad CMS decided it should be covered in a broader sense.

Well I wasn't really sure what I thought of this whole corporate takeover thing but I will say it has its uses.

I saw the HR director and asked her if she knew the definition of "essential".

She did not, but she knew how to find out.

Two minutes later I learned that veterinarians are considered essential.

So if LA gets locked down, I can still go to work.

Provided we don't wind up with any employee cases.

Thank cow, test results finally came back and my SIL does NOT have the dreaded coronavirus, which means I can get back to work tomorrow. Man, in what universe am I excited about getting back to work? Maybe just anxious because there is a pile of stuff I need to build and because it will add an air of normalcy to this topsy turvy stuff we've had.

During your recent hiatus, it was suggested that you are an attorney. True? Besides being a Canadian vegetarian.
