Tuesday

As much as I don't like to complain about day-to-day stuff, Monday was pretty much a drag.

Stuff happens from time to time in retail, and Monday was the day a lot of stuff came to a head. Though I wasn't in until noon — technically — I was dealing with things from 7:30 on. In between I had to write a story to finish off a freelance job.

By 1 p.m., I was pretty much done.

And when I woke up this morning, allergies were hitting me pretty much full-force. Things haven't been too bad this year, but Tuesday was the first time I wanted to pop a pill and go back to bed. After spending time cleaning the gunk out of my eyes and nose, I finally got moving.

Mark and I had an 8:30 meeting with Kam, our Capo rep, at the store, and after that we planned on a ride. The meeting was good — lots of cool stuff coming down the pipeline for 2012 — and the ride was even better. Cycling in Omaha doesn't get the credit it deserves. We have some really, really great roads on which to play. Sometimes it takes an out-of-towner's perspective to remember that. (Kam recorded a pair of videos during the ride here and here.)

After the ride, Kam and I grabbed a bite at the Dundee Dell and I headed home — finally — at 4:30.

It ended up being a nice day, which was nice considering how it started (and how Monday ended).

Here's to good days, every day.
