Clearly

The first hard decision I have to make in the morning is which bike to ride to work.

Generally if I’m wide awake, I take the DeRosa.

If I’m still waking up, or the weather is nasty, I take the Schwinn.

It’s hard to say which is better, they are just different… but anyways, I was still half asleep this morning and the wind was blowing hard, so I decided to ride the faithful Schwinn. Either way, I feel pretty blessed to ride a bike along the beach to and from work just about every day. I think it would be a challenge to find anyone with a better commute.

There is one guy I saw this morning that might have a better morning routine….

Fancy Fridays

Huisok was showing us his stock trading theories today. And saying things like “controlled chaos” “emotional logarithms” and “block out the noise”. I just hope he is correct, cause he promised us all very fancy lunches every Friday if he gets rich.

Mr DJ

We went to the MD&M show on Thursday. The best part about going, was seeing a robot that reminded of this….

Now I hate robots mind you, but if you just must have a robot, at least have one that can spin records.
