Days go by, or in this case, weeks, and a month, since the last update. So what's new? Working. Hanging with the family. Bike Commuting. Got more bike related apparel. Got a Walz Cycling Cap, as recommended by Russell. Love it. Kind of not following the Rule #22 because I like it so much. Wanting to get more. Do eventually have to get some cycling shoes that fit better. Finally put toe clips and straps on the Xtracycle. Also prepped it for Bike the Drive this Sunday. Hoping Tracy isn't filming so she can come with, otherwise it's me and Lucy crusing the Lake Shore. And if she isn't filming, might try and get out on the Pacer and do a loop in the early morning before heading out afterwards with the family. We'll see. Oh, and not writing anything about Tracy being an extra anymore. Or will just save up those posts for after filming is done, or after the movie comes out. Weather's warming up, makes me miss the cooler/colder stuff. Glad the building at work finally put in the other bike rack after taking a bunch out to put in giant planters. Lucy's moving on up to a preschool room, still at Parkview Montessori. She starts in June. Still not completely potty trained, but getting there. Oh, she did have a 3rd birthday party out at my parents, and a couple weeks ago had her crib converted to a toddler bed. And slowly working on getting her self sufficient at night, for switching out blankets, getting herself water. Been doing a little exercising when I get in to work after my bike commute, just some pushups and crunches. Something's better than nothing.

Tracy had some stunt training today, and some more tomorrow. My parents were nice enough to pick Lucy up today, and tomorrow, or yesterday and today, so I didn't have to leave early. Which is good. Tracy has actual filming on Monday and Tuesday, which means I'll have to drop Lucy off and pick her up most likely. Yikes. Had a personal day on Tuesday since I wanted to get Lucy a same day appointment to get her finger checked out. Ended up getting one at 3:45pm, which means she probably could have gone to school and I could have gone to work and just taken a half day for both of us. But no idea when the sick appointments are available at Town & Country. But it was kind of nice to have a pseudo day off. And all Lucy needed was a little topical antibiotics. Already looks like it's getting better. Potty training's been going ok. Been trying out Everpix for photo management. Basically trying to take the hassle out of picking good photos. It supposedly will pick the good ones for you. So I'm trying to take more, and after automatic uploading, just browsing. It's nice. Although trying to get photos out and into Flickr or Photo Streams isn't super easy. So still need to figure out a method for that. Got the Pacer all tuned up. The rear wheel needed some serious truing. And I just made it worse when I tried it at home. But Roscoe Village Bikes cleaned it up nice. And I finally made a stabilizer for the front dual headlamps.

Tracy got her official acceptance letter into the Dauntless Born Initiate class. So yes, she's going to be in a movie. It's awesome. Now have to start figuring out logistics for it. 20 days over a 3 month period with sometimes a 1 day notice. But still, she might get some serious screen time. Hopefully. Otherwise, been biking to work. It's been cold. Went looking for SmartWool leg warmers on my way home yesterday, but no joy. Lucy stayed home sick yesterday, but better today. Caught it at Sammi's birthday party over the weekend at Kid City. All the other kids that were there also got sick this week. But that was fun on Saturday. Met some of the parents. Sunday went over to Mike and Amy's to hang with Caden and Connor, and ostensibly for dying Easter eggs, but that only lasted about 5 minutes for Lucy. She just like playing with all of Caden and Connor's toys. Then dinner at Vapiano again, right before some Jewish school production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat showed up and made the lines super long.

So first off, Veronica Mars Kickstarter. Announced this morning. $2 million goal. 10 hours later. Met. So impressive. Seriously. Fan funded, well, kickstarted anyway. And there's 30 days left. What if it's fully fan funded at the end of 30 days? How much would it take to full fund the movie anyway? Crazy. Possibly game changing. But we'll see. Looking forward to it anyway. Next up: new pope. Not much to say there. And finally, Google Reader is getting sent to a farm upstate in July. Guess me hopping off that train was prescient. Surprised at how little Fever is getting brought up as a possible self hosted replacement. So besides the news, not much else to report. Don't have a MacBook Pro to play with at work anymore. Having some issues with my Brydge+, so getting it replaced under warranty. Got some more clothes from swrve, so I can actually have a pants rotation to go with my jersey rotation. Might be time to actually wash the bike clothes. Definitely has some maintenance to do on the Pacer. Need to true my rear wheel, but the Revolights makes it difficult. But after the time change I might be able to just remove the revolights. Didn't really need them when it's still light out biking home today at 6:15pm.
