and, done
Out of the house at just past 5am this morning, mostly because it turned out that cris thought that the ride started at 6am, instead of registration opening at 6am and the ride starting at 7.

cheap lunch
I decided not to wait in line at the Subway behind a gaggle of loud high school kids, and went over to the grocery store instead. Not sure why I haven't built a sandwich at the deli counter before, it's cheap ( Read more... )
