Recharge time

This is one of those years where Christmas and New Year's fall on a mid weekday, thus pulverizing any semblance of continuity for many of us in the 40 hour, Monday-Friday workaday world.  The ease at which everyone says that no work will be done because everyone will be out (either physically or mentally) makes it a helluvalot easier to take the foot off the accelerator for a week or so.

Or it's a great time to catch up/get a jump.  Me?  I've got vacation to burn, so I'll be out until the 2nd day of '08.  We're facing an intense January with about 6 deadlines, so some of the people at the office next week will be able to do some fieldwork so that we're not too deep in the weeds when we get back.  I guess that's what having elves is like.

Also the perfect time to get back on the bike, after 2 weeks off post cyclocross.  The riding should be good, and the weather doesn't look too bad either, and I'm itchin' to get back out there.  The aerobic fitness has been hurtin' lately especially since the cyclocross has been focused on 45 minute anaerobic efforts.  Some solid road rides will be most welcome.  

And of course, available time to finish these house addition drawings.  

Hope springs eternal.
