It's 5:30am on a Saturday morning. Normally you'd think I'm still up because I just got back from Melrose Diner after a night of destroying what's left of my liver. Unfortunately that is not the case. The case is that I woke up yesterday morning with a head that felt like it weighed 200 pounds...ergo I seem to have caught some kind of sickness. The changing weather combined with my habit of riding my bike to and from swim practice and walking to work may have been a factor. Who knows who cares right? So I've basically been asleep since 7:30 or so last night...yay.
Originally I was going to motor up to Madison today to celebrate my uncle's 40th birthday. The impending 17 inches (!!) of snow that is supposed to drop on Madison postponed those plans. Most likely this means I'll be spending the entire weekend in bed watching Drew's 1st season of the West Wing.
On a positive note....it appears there is a new bike shop going up on the corner of Fulton and Des Plaines. It's called Get A Grip Cycles. Doesn't look like it is quite ready to be open, but a glance through the windows revealed that these people are very much in line with my road biking needs. Good to know there's a shop around the block for the summer.
