242: wake destroyed my bracket

So the local university team held it's road race this weekend. The circuit race pretty much circled around my house. I went out for a little spin just before they had gotten underway. On the way home, all of the intersections had course marshalls. As I would approach they'd jump to action, stopping any traffic, pointing me in the direction of the course.

I speak up, "no! I'm just an old guy, I'm not a college kid, no need to spring into action!" They'd laugh. At the circle the Marshall said, "well, I've got traffic stopped, come on through!"

it made for a nice little finish to the ride, totally rock star.

In a non rock star moment, at the climbing gym as is not unusual on Saturday nights, there was some lucky 12 year old girl having a birthday party, which is always a fun train wreck to watch. I feel for the guys working at the gym, just trying to keep up with all of them, but I digress. I had just come off of problem I probably had no business on, and I crawled back away from the bouldering wall and laid on my back with my eyes shut, arms crossed on my chest and trying to catch my breath.

I opened my eyes and looked up to see three twelve year old looking down at me. the first one said, "I think he fell" the next one said, "Is he hurt?" the third one says, "let's climb over here.." and they took off as quickly as they came.

i laughed to myself.

here are some videos of the dogs drinking water.
