miles to Hobbiton: 39.4 I wish the bike trails were all clear. Biking around the lake and around neighborhoods is okay, but it’s not nearly as much fun as biking the coastal trail. But I’m not man enough to bike through long patches of slushy snow. Sulk.

I love these days
I love the days when I get up early enough to be writing by 8am. I just feel so much more focused and capable. 3300 words in 3 hours this morning, and I’m going to go write some more in a few minutes here. Chanti and I went for a walk, and I think I’m going to go biking later this afternoon.

One of the problems with the days getting so long (compounded by stupid, *stupid* daylight savings) is that there’s all this bright evening (it’s 9:34 as I type this sentence, and the sky is twilighty but not dark yet) and I feel like I should be out *doing* things. But I’d already walked 3 miles and written 2300 words and it’d gotten pretty windy so I didn’t really want to go biking, and besides I’ve got a crampy knot in my calf already so it seemed like biking would be…
the best laid plans
The best laid plans o’ mice an’ men gang aft a-gley. So we are not going to Europe in May, because doing so was contingent on the retention bonus. Nor will I be going to any conferences this summer, for precisely the same reason. If anyone I know would like to go to Writer’s Weekend, I’ve got a registration paid for and there are no refunds, so I’ll either sell it to you (there’s already a break in the price, as I’m a WW alumni) or if you can make…
