    Happy Graduation Crankin! Whoo hoo. Smart women ROCK!
    I'm relatively new here and would love to know more about your educational story.

    @hirakukibou, thanks for the post. Sounds like a fun ride and a nice way to support a friend.

    Wow! Congrats, Robyn! Great to hear that you are through with school. No doubt that the perfect job (one that will still let you get out and ride) will come your way soon.

    Ha, Red Rhodie, I had to laugh at that one. I mean, given my former profession...
    It was really a perfect day out and we have had so few of these days this season so far. I found out my TE contest jersey has pockets that can hold a vest, arm warmers, and leg warmers. And that I have been lolly gagging on climbs because Hirakukibou dropped me on Westcott Rd. in Harvard.

    Velocivixen, I was a teacher for 30 years and I just finished a master's degree in clinical mental health counseling. I guess I have really been a perpetual student. I now have 2 master's degrees, in addition to being a PhD dropout .

    And yes, I am trying to find a job that won't interfere with riding. Priorities, right? Seriously, one of the interviews I have next week is for a job that I am pretty sure I can do 4 days a week.
