Such a long week

no, no miles this week. after some nice country miles this past weekend this week has been one of the more busy of late. the good wife and Z left Monday for a 3-day school trip to Cincy. They visited the art museum, underground railroad museum, took an evening cruise, and biggest of all did "Science Day" at Kings Island. that's a lot packed into slightly fewer than three days. L and i stayed home, single men. it's changed my morning commutes quite a bit b/c I have had to drive L, and this morning the whole crew, to school, race to my own, and hopefully find a parking spot before our own and UL's students steal all the spots. The afternoons have been uncontrollably filled with the regional tennis tournament. it's the 'post-season', so it's all vim and vigor and inspiration. we lost all our semifinal matches today to the dreaded evil empire, St.X. now that we didn't meet the big challenge i wish it all hadn't happened and that i'd ridden all spring. Buddhism says to be in the moment, b/c there is no past or future, and i can accept that. But mierda, i'll have to refocus and move forward on not regretting.

i'll be picking L and the good wife up tomorrow from their 2-day trip to Mammoth Cave. More field trips!! and eventually the stupid-ass tennis (and school year) will be finished and i'll start doing more miles. the promise land of summer is nigh around the bend.
