RAGBRAI as memory

I am at Nina's. Bright-sunny, beautifully cool morning. I have done my
YWCA thing--stretched, meditated, lifted, ellipticalled.

Tomorrow, my fate is back to work. My week long vacatio ends. Much
will have changed in my work world. A consultant started last
Monday--a contractor via our vendor, basically. This week, another
vendor will be in for a three-day proof-of-concept. (Their tool finds
memory leaks--it has probably been memory leaks that have been at the
root of our misery for these last several months.)

I return to being oncall. I am the lead to get another new product
working for our code deployments and version control. (At least I
think I am the lead.) And, it is my turn for the pesky quarterly
disaster recovery exercise.

But for now, it is ogling whatever it is that I can find to ogle
coming in the door. Oogle, maybe?

D. And M. are coming to the Y. I am contemplating a bike ride. Not
terribly imaginative. I am sort of reluctant. I started snorting
Nasonex about a week ago for hay fever allergies. Now thinking I
should suppliment with Claritin. It would be classic to go for a ride
and to thereby get totally allergy wiped out.

The RAGBRAI 2009 is now history, but spiritually lives on. I am
currently dressed in some of the hundreds of dollars of biking clothes
I bought for the event.

Last nihgt at about 2:00 AM, the Molasses Asses bus form Shenandoah,
IA pulled up to and stopped at the house next door. And, I saw and
took a picture of that bus ths morning. It was parked around the
corner. Tried posting it to Twitpic, though didn't seem to work.

Pictures of the bike ride in general are to be found at the website of
The Destination Moines Register. I posted photos SomeKindaPossible on
Flickr.
