Thanks, all, for the advice....

Since the weather here in Portland has taken a turn for the better, and my dear man is going out on more rides (without me-- I made him go, though), I'm really wanting to go out and ride.

I'm feeling better-- still coughing a bit, though. I'm probably going to commute by bike tomorrow, taking it easy. If I don't feel like riding home, I'm sure one of my brothers will give me lift! We'll see how I feel when I wake up.
