Unexpected benefit of cycling: reassembling the bike out of its shipping case is an unobtrusive way of showing the HVAC guys that I know my way around a toolbox.
Not that I expect these guys to cut any corners, this is the second major job they've done for us besides several visits for routine maintenance, and I trust them. But it just feels good to show that "woman home alone" does not mean "idiot."

Hahaha Oak! Yes! Someday there will be no doubts or sideways glances when we do something like that. It will just be business as usual because we will achieve absolute equality in the world.

Christmas party season: I guess it's a sign of adulthood when you can get seated next to someone you've had a bad falling out with, and haven't spoken to in three years, and pull off sitting there for over two hours without mudslinging, recriminations or resorting to banalities.
*sigh* Growing older has its perks. But it's still hard work.Winter riding is much less about badassery and much more about bundle-uppery. - malkin

I'm losing track. And when we count 17 is it 17 + District of Columbia or is DC included. And does 17 include Utah (Utah??? Utah!!!).
