Watching Misery with James Caan and Kathy Bates. She mentions an interview Paul Sheldon did on the Merv Griffin show. Younger kids these days probably have no clue who Merv Griffin was!

Missed our train due to delays in NJ. Now we wait 4 hours until the next train upstate. Sigh. I like to use mass transit but getting up north from the city can be a challenge sometimes. Maybe next time depart from Poughkeepsie instead of Rhinecliff.

Is it just me or is the camera moto too close to TP? Seems he is almost able to draft.

Watching the strade bianche donne while trying to do a zone 2 was probably not a great idea. Ok so 7% dipped into zone 3 but that finish was wild!
Mystery spinner in zwift was nice to grant me an extra 90,000 sweat drops.

Gas went up from Wednesday $2.79 to $3.19 on Friday. Guess what it will be next week?

Blankets are magnets for cats. He will jump on within seconds of it being laid out.

Yeah when double digits get into the +15% grade my knees always ask "But why?"

I shaved 14 seconds off of Cote de Pike at 100% Elevation in France. I don't like climbing when the grade goes into double digits. I really need to research climbs before mindlessly clicking on the 'Climb of the Week' for extra XP.
