how do we feel about top tube bags? i kind of hate all bags, at least i think i do, but have an unsupported century planned tomorrow and want to bring a few more things than usual. a small battery for the phone, co2/inflator, bars, minitool, not much but more than my usual "keys and a credit card in the pocket" approach.
are my legs going to hit this out of the saddle?!?!

The bike shop said “let’s deal” on the fan and I said that I’ll check back tomorrow after I run it by my wife one more time.
I did and now I’m even more confused and depressed. It’s been a long time since she acted this way, literally years. I must have been really bad this year.

Though the great advantage of stuffing bars & gels & stuff in your jersey pockets is you never have to see 'em.

I started one meal a day 2 weeks ago, weekends 2 meals if I have breakfast. And have been trying to do one hour a day on the bike, with floor exercises after. Push ups, sit ups, planks . Still doing women's push ups due to my shoulders, but they're getting better. Going to drop the weight and get back into form. Christmas screwed me up a bit, but I'm back now.
Dad came home Thursday before Christmas. Mom
took him for blood work today because he is sleeping too much. She thinks his counts crashed again, but we will see what the blood work says.
Took Mom for an mri Saturday on her shoulder. Looks like Robomoms getting an upgrade in February. 6 weeks of recovery.

Had my CT angiogram, which showed normal vessels with my neck in a neutral position, meaning, at least to me, that I'm not a set-up for a brainstem stroke if I don't look to the right. I will have to ask the surgeons whether to repeat the study with my neck twisted. That would be intensely unpleasant and scary. Also emailed a big dizziness expert I know at Johns Hopkins, who said, yeah it could be neuromuscular, but you'd have to rule everything else out first.

The rib roast The Older Boy bought us for Christmas was - indeed IS excellent. There's about 1-2cm of "Well Done" around the outside and the rest is pink the whole way through. We made a big pot of potatoes, with butter and chives, which curiously are all nearly falling apart, except for the occasional bit. The Older Boy, at Christmas dinner said, "Oh, no! A fragment of underdone potato! Now Jacob Marley's ghost will be haunting me!"
TOB and I had set out on Christmas Eve Eve to find Christmassy treats and last minute stuff, so we ended up with 3 desserts - a Christstollen, a plum pudding, and a pecan pie. It's a mistake to let the two of us go buy Christmassy treats together. We damn near also bought a panettone. So, between leftover rib roast, leftover potatoes, leftover stuffing (did I mention that I made stuffing, even though no bird for dinner?), and leftover Christmas desserts, I'm gonna have to ride several centuries just to claw my way back down to 200 lbs, let alone the 190 I was dreaming of.
And it's raining. A lot.

I remember a SUMMER in San Francisco where we didn't see the sun for a month. It was when The Older Boy was born. May explain his affinity for clouds and rain. I told him he should move to Seattle. But he's still here.
