sunday, milwaukee to chicago

woke at ten, got the dudes up, and walked to anodyne coffee. XL iced soy 'frosty' (mint mocha). back to tom's, goodbye, onto the highway, where i now write this from the back seat, at 75mph.

we figured the most efficient use of everyone's time would be if diana picked me up near the highway so jason and john could load the gear into storage in jason's house without having to drive me back north. they left me at old orchard.

di picked me up and drove me home. i checked out the work paul and greg have been doing on the house - very very happy. discovered that the mawn clippings left in the yard waste bin have started composting themselves - generating heat and all - so i added more material from the waste bin to the actual compost pile.

we drove over near the bike path and rode bikes up to the botanic gardens, where we got a late lunch and walked around a bit in the perfect weather. heading south, the wind was a bit more in our faces, but it was fine. 13 mile loop, moving my total to 1735 miles since the beginning of the year. i had hoped to be much farther along by now.

we came home, went to the gym for an hour, went grocery shopping, and returned home again to watch "aqua team hunger force colon movie for theaters" which, while funny, wasn't anywhere as cohesive or awesome as the first four minutes of the film lead me to believe it might be.

very tired, 10pm now. okay.
