Ah well, soon enough the CFPs get bored of dragging the kids all the way over to the bike path and let them ride in the streets near home instead, as nature intended.
My heel still hurts when I walk, or stand up, and it really stiffened up over night so that merely rotating my ankle early this morning was enough to bring me from mostly asleep to totally awake and in pain in microseconds. Doesn't bother me at all when I pedal, though.

Speaking of sunshine and spring-like temperatures, there was this, posted by commenter Hollywood Joe over at Dodger Thoughts (which has moved from the LA Times to much nicer digs at ESPN):
"I was in ATL this week, it was snowy and cold, and I was walking a tradeshow floor - ugh. I got tired and hungry, so I ran across the street in the snow, and into a bar for some lunch (food lunch, not the liquid kind thank you). Lo and behold BASEBALL, GLORIOUS BASEBALL there on the TV, in the bar, in the middle of the day.
It was like being blown a kiss from god."
Amen.
