  • 07:03:22: I swear, they must have a 56k modem to share between motel rooms here
  • 07:03:55: I may end up not doing a race report until I get home. Meh.
  • 07:04:46: I went to bed at 8pm, slept until 6. 10 hours' sleep, baby.
  • 07:10:41: Dude, my son just discovered huffing by accident. *rolls eyes*
  • 07:11:10: not huffing. whippets. excuse me.
  • 07:20:24: 48 degrees in Weott, we may have a 50 degree start in the morning.
  • 07:21:20: AND, it says "WIND: Calm" thank GOD. No wind like yesterady, woo!
  • 07:25:25: Oh no, I've proven myself to be an old curmudgeon in the eyes of my kids. I called my son's toy skateboard a "car".
  • 07:37:32: Whoops, I'm accidentally wearing last year's Avenue of the Giants Marathon t-shirt, however did that happen? #fb

  • 20:03:04: Hey cool, the gloves I bought are "designed for women"
  • 20:03:27: But we've talked about my girl hands, right, @cyberpenguin?

  • 18:40:59: WOW internet sucks in this motel... 651k down, 446k up. Gonna reboot to see if it helps.
