To ride or not to ride.....

Thanks again! After an apology and much discussion I went on the ride and it was wonderful. 63 miles at 16.3

I will confirm that I didn't communicate well! On my ride I asked my friend how he and his wife dealt with issues of planning ride and training time. He said that they have an online calendar that they both use to update. So I set up with with my plans. Mr. can check it anytime. But I will still try to communicate better.

We're actually using google calendars to manage our lives - my DH has one for work, a personal one, and a few work related ones (e.g. holidays, paydays). You can view each other's info on your calendar and color code it.

That's a great tip, and it just helped me out more than you'll ever know! Thanks!

I must be very old fashioned.
I talk to my husband. If there ever comes a time that I need an electronic calendar to do this for me, then something will be very wrong.

Well I think that's kind of unfair.

I talk to my husband too. But sometimes we talk when we're in the middle of doing something else, or when DH who hasn't quite mastered the whole portable calendar thing is away from his computers, and the talk-ee forgets to enter the information on his/her own calendar. Why not have a shared database?

(Personally I have issues with the security of a free online calendar, and to me the "old fashioned" and more secure way is to send vcard invites even when it's not really an invitation but just a reminder of something that you're doing on your own. But in general it seems like a good idea.)

We do talk. A lot. But we both have busy jobs, and quite frequently one of us will need to schedule something while the other is at work and not necessarily reachable. It's not a substitute for communication the old fashioned way - it's a supplement to it - at least for us!

Fashion has nothing to do with it. An electronic calendar is no different from a paper calendar, and lots of families use those. It's courteous to share a written record, and it doesn't matter whether it's electronic or written on paper.
