Hehehe...

This is why I always arrive at airport three hours early. I've got a 9:15 flight next Friday; so I'll be there, oh, around six.

I kind of like flying. Not takeoff, that's horrible. But it's cool to be up so high now and then. I just take plenty of good books...

Don't think I'll take the laptop this time. Five days away from the keyboard might do me some good. And they've got so much planned I wouldn't have time anyway. Dad's promised me P.F. Chang's (ever been there? Mmmm... opulent Chinese...), Mom said they'll crack open some good wine, the kids are insisting we have pizza for our HP reading, plus there's the ballgame...

Sigh. Those five pounds that are all I've lost in a month of this diet and exercise stuff? I have a feeling they'll be back.

Well, tomorrow is the big day. 204 miles of "fun" on the STP (Seattle To Portland)! ;)

I start riding at the leisurely hour of 3 am and hope to arrive at the finish by 7:30 pm. Yikes! I am excited, nervous, and I think I am certifiably insane. Please pray for me for a safe ride for everyone involved and maybe, perhaps, pretty please, the treat of a nice tailwind for the last 50 miles or so.

So far, the forecast is for "scattered showers," especially in the morning--I can live with that. It's better than "torrential downpours!" :)
