On the way home last night there was a lot of traffic around Merchandise Mart. Seemed like a conference of some sort, but that might be odd given that I was riding by at 6pm or so. Lots of cabs, some limos, people looking for parking. Always nice to be able to ride past stuck traffic like that. Still didn't get to ride home in the rain, just a little sprinkling here and there, but no rain. Maybe today. Watched Mad Men while Tracy made dinner, lamb shoulder steaks and a 2 bean salad. Watched Top Chef, Scrubs and The Office after dinner. Was able to readjust the DVR schedule when the Sox/Yankees game had a rain delay, and thus pushed back Smallville. So that's good. Good news about my bike, I'm getting replacement cranks shipped out. So I should be back on my road bike next week hopefully. I should do some maintenance on the mountain bike this weekend though. And do laundry. Headed out with the boys to Chicago Brauhaus Saturday night. Might check out some open houses by myself on Sunday, depending on how long the piano tuning will take. Getting a little warm and muggy, and waiting for the cold spell or at least the A/C to kick in. Also, my legs are sore. Too much biking? Too much commuting on the mtb? Got plenty of movies to watch on the weekend as well. Rented Hitman and The Kingdom on the Apple TV.
