Interesting Development
J is off to an "experienced riders" course in Tucson. He will spend about 6 hours outside on a riding course (I think there is an hour or so of discussion as well). He has to take his own bike. The interesting part is that today's weather is rain, wind, and 50's. It has been raining at the house since about 5. It had quit for about 30 minutes or so and the sun actually seemed to be considering shining. However, as soon as he took the bike out of the garage to leave, it began again. Fortunately, it isn't doing the downpours that happen in the summer but he will be quite wet before he makes it the 30 miles into Davis-Monthan AFB (where the course is held). He has lots of layers of wool and fleece so hopefully won't freeze. One of us will post something tonight after he gets back (anticipated to be 7 ish since there aren't any food breaks during the course and he will eat dinner "on the road" home.)
In other news, I ran for the Unit board (Bridge Unit 356 which is Tucson area) since Green Valley really didn't have a representative on the board (we have about 400 or the 1000 members of the Unit). I won?? Not sure that I'm happy about it but we did need representation. I know that I will be expected to play in the Unit Games (once a month in Tucson) and that these Games usually follow a board meeting so at least I won't have to go up multiple times a month. What else it might entail I don't know.
Looking forward to having all the folks around for the holidays. Not looking forward to decorations, presents, etc. Can I just sorta forget about a tree? Nah, I didn't think so.
Oh, well, I know where the Grinch is stored, so he will come forth.
Oh, my, it is really raining now! Hope it is following him and not overtaking him.
I picked a mood that matched the weather. :-)
