CRAP! There goes my chances of a ride today... - cougarguard.com — unofficial BYU Cougars / LDS sports, football, basketball forum and message board

I was all ready to go for a nice long spin at about 8:00... Then Mrs. Hippie got a call from a guy in the ward who needed "emergency" help with his kids. Apparently their babysitter fell thru and he needed to be at the school ASAP for orientation (he's a new law student).

So now Mrs. Hippie has promised to babysit until around noon.

As I slowly inch my way toward the bike gear I feel the pain of a billion little knives in the back of my head... I turn as Mrs. Hippie asks... are you still going for your ride?

Fortunately I didn't have to answer that question... "Can't you go later today after their Mom comes and gets them?"

So I end up babysitting all morning.

Then Mrs. Hippie informs me that the missionaries are coming over for lunch. I KNOW I can't skip that one so now I'm stuck in the house until at least 2:30.

The missionaries leave, I run a quick errand w/ Mrs. Hippie and rush home to get ready and hop on the bike...

The NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning for the area. The wind is blowing pretty freakin' hard and according to the sattelite images I'm pretty much SOL.

Damn that woman...

Would it have been a tailwind? You could have reached Q speeds if it were!

I was going to ride tomorrow, and then I find out there is a stake leadership meeting tomorrow night. Work Tues night, YM tonight, meeting tomorrow. No time for my own family, much less passtimes and hobbies.

Not likely. I'm pretty much the fastest guy I know of.
