"Four day weeks are superior to five day weeks" is my thesis for today. Nothing wickedly exciting has come forward on the docket, but the week is ending and that's enough for me. Had a good ride last night, although 95 degrees with 14 miles per hour northwesterly wind makes for tough sledding. My average was 23.39 and that felt comfortable, but shortly after recording that average the group wound to a halt atop the New Pass Bridge to let a sportfish and its overly tall weaponry pass under. Sitting out there, in the calm of the lee of the island, sun blazing down and heat rising up, I was very much ready for autumn afternoons in the Midwest.
