I’m just going to get right to it here

1).  Not having a triathlon to train for and not having an early morning riding partner and thinking I should be doing ‘stuff’ during the day is killing me.  I have not been on my bike since I raced on the 21st.  Shameful.  I could have gone on a nice ride today and I decided I had too much to do. What sort of ‘too much?’  Apparently playing Scrabble on Facebook = too much to do. 

2).  I did spend several hours getting a newsletter out to my race club. I need to quit working so hard at this.  It’s keeping me off my bike.

3).  I’d like to publicly apologize to Katie Couric for all the negative thoughts I had when she got her current job.  I thought it should go to Diane Sawyer or someone with more experience and who had paid more dues.  Well first of all, I have no idea if Diane Sawyer was even interested.  Second of all Katie Couric is doing a fine job of asking straight questions (and I beg you to tell me how asking a direct question about a documented encounter constitutes “gotcha journalism”) and she seems very well suited for her job.  And no – that was not a pun.

4).  I need to get my a$$ in gear in so many ways.  So many that I find it overwhelming.  Time to make a list and get stuff done bird by bird.
