Update: They arranged a limo to drive me from Detroit Metro to the store.
I felt like Kwame.
I did actual work for about an hour today before quitting time was called and it was time to go out for drinks. Tomorrow I'm visiting Ann Arbor.

out of "office"
I'm leaving tomorrow morning on a business trip to Rochester Hills, MI. I've got mixed feelings - I don't especially want to leave Xtina for a week but I suppose it will be good to get away.
Not much new around here. Pitchfork was fun, everything was exactly as I had expected it to be. The Tour de France is over so I can stop watching three hours of television every day. I came home a couple times for family-related activities.
I'm currently ranked seventh in overall cycling in my work's regional competition. I'm riding like crazy these days. Friday I took the sixty five mile trip to Lake Bluff and yesterday I rode with friends to the Lynfred Winery in Roselle. I'm saving up for Look-style pedals, shoes and cleats.
In just a few weeks we're going to Portland so I can feel as good about the city as Xtina does. We'll be staying in one of our favorite hotels, the Jupiter, and for a few days we'll be backpacking on Mount Hood. I suppose I should break in those new hiking boots sometime.
I'm feeling a bit disconnected these days - I'll have to make some phone calls when I get back.

I made it!
It was pretty rough, though. I fell around mile twenty and was very close to getting hit by a truck at mile fifty. I'm tired and sore and sunburned, but thrilled that I accomplished my summer goal so early. Perhaps I should try a trek to Michigan next. I'll wait, though. After riding 100 miles I can't even think of getting on that bike again for a couple days.
By sheer chance I was given a long forth of July weekend off and I returned to Michigan. The gang was all there and I drank my fair share of oberon from the mini keg.
Update: I am unbelievable sore today. I calculated that I burned over 4,100 calories on the trip and my body is wrecked.

Back in Town
After a late night, I started with a great morning.
