It's too early to declare Spring, but it was 60 and sunny today. This was by far the nicest day of the year so far. I saw more cyclists on the roads today than I've seen in a long time. Part of me was psyched to see people out, but there was also the bitter man in me that was a little annoyed.
For those of us that spent the dead of winter riding in sub freezing temperatures, I kind of feel like we should get to enjoy the first day of Spring by ourselves. We've earned it. I haven't made it to church in a number of years for fear of bursting into flames upon entering the church, but today reminded me of going to church during the holidays as a kid. It seemed like every holiday, everyone came out of the woodwork and stole all of the good seats. Here I was going to church every week and some some Johnny come lately who goes to church twice a year stole my seat. I realize that isn't very Christian of me, but as I mentioned I no longer go to church . . .
After work I took the dogs hiking. When I got to the park, the lot was practically full. Again, me and the dogs have been hiking all winter, and now a bunch of people who had apparently locked themselves and their dogs in the house all winter were ready to drag their pasty asses outdoors.
At the end of the day I rode the trainer hard. I'll get to ride outside in shorts eventually.
If I sound a little bitter, I figure Andy Rooney is getting pretty old and someones gonna need to fill his seat. Maybe I'll get a try out on 60 Minutes when he kicks. Out of control eyebrows and bad attitudes run in the family, so that can't hurt my chances.
