Today was a good day
Today I woke up at 6:00 and met a friend in Castle Rock (south of Denver). We were up early to ride our mountain bikes in the Elephant Rock ride. We did the 26-mile Canyon Course, which was mostly pavement and dirt roads. It was much easier than the some of the single tracks in the foothills. I live in the foothills and it's only about 10 miles to some of the best mountain bike riding in the country - right in my backyard! It rocks. So we finished the ride in 2.5 hours, had a beer and then the storm hit. The temperature dropped about 20 degrees in 15 minutes, the rain came down in sheets, and the wind picked up to about 10-20 miles/hour. We were done, and very happy about that. A lot of people were still our riding in it. I actually know a couple of folks - it'll be interesting to see there take on it later this week.
After escaping the storm, I drove home, dropped my bike off for a tune-up (I had to bribe the guy with a 12er to get it done so I can commute this week) and played with Abbie for most of the afternoon (Mom slept after being up with her all last night - she's teething). We just got back from an hour walk, and I can her (Abbie) waking up from her nap in the other room, so I'd better go.
RE: Listen to RSS feeds on your iPod
Damn, after reading e-mail and blogs for the last couple of hours, I'm slowly starting to create a list of things to do. Life is so much slower and easier without a computer! Anyway, it looks like I have all the equipment to listen to RSS feeds on my iPod. I'm also thinking of downloading books from Audible.com and learning on my way to work, rather than simply listening to music. BTW, I got Mini-Me back today (after sending it to Apple) - they fixed the hinge, but not the loose case.
Home Sweet Home
We arrived home just a couple of hours ago - and boy is it good to be back in the land of no humidity. Julie's skin is itching already (it loves humidity) and mine is loving life. I don't plan on detailing all the blogging events I missed, but since nothing earth shattering appears to have happened - it looks like it was a good time to relax and get away. There are, however, some things worth mentioning:
- These CSS Tabs are wicked cool and at first glance, I think I can create a tabbed menu for struts-menu with a bit of CSS and the ListDisplayer.
- The pseudo-class selector
:hovercan be used on a paragraph to create a cool effect and I might have to use it... someday.
It's good to be back - and was one of the most relaxing vacations I've ever had.
