Interesting Day Thus Far...

Today is Friday, which means I get two days off from Calculus class and WSU. Hooray! My first week of the quarter is done, and though I can tell its going to be a long quarter, I have managed to get through this week. I think I should be fine as long as I keep up with my homework and readings for class. My weekend is probably going to be spent doing mostly school work, but I suppose that's the life of a college student well... besides the binge drinking and sexual promiscuity. I don't participate in that aspect of college life. After class today, I put together two more of my secret surprises for my B2SB friends and sent them off. I believe I am all caught up with that project, so I don't have any more to put together unless I get some more addresses. 

My regular trip to Boston Stoker for some delicious Wildberry black tea was interesting today. I'm not sure if this gentleman works for Boston Stoker, but he had a table set up with samples of Clif Bars (Peanut Butter Crunch flavor if you are curious), and asked me if I wanted to try any. Of course I know all about the glory which is Clif Bars, that was a form of currency on Bike & Build. I took a sample from him, and told him how I survived on the bars last summer. Then a conversation started up about why I know Clif Bars so well, and I of course had to talk about Bike & Build. It was fun to tell the people at the store about the trip, and of course I probably shared way more information than they really cared about. One of the people in the shop was sporting a Santa suit (minus the hat and beard) and a pink sparkle hat. I enjoyed how casual he was as he sat on his laptop dressed in a Santa suit. Of course it is April Fool's Day, so I'm not sure if that played a part in the decision to wear that today, but either way, I really enjoyed it. I also might have found a new biking buddy, because one of the employees asked if I would ever be interested in doing a ride from Dayton to Cincy sometime. I gave him my information, so we'll see if anything ever happens from that. I've seen him in there quite a few times, and he seems like a cool guy (well... as much as you can tell from someone when they are at work), so it would be cool to make a new bike buddy. 

On the way home from Boston Stoker I stopped to do my "highs and lows" video for the group. I have been slacking on doing videos for my "highs and lows", so it was fun to do another video. It's always hard to find a good spot to do them, and of course my spot today had to change to my car in the parking lot because of too many people hanging around, but I still enjoy doing them and I hope that my B2SB friends enjoy them. It's a fun way to keep in touch with everyone, and do something that we all used to do on the trip. 

Anyhoo... I think I'm going to head down to First Fridays downtown tonight to see what is going on down there. I was going to go to the Courteous Mass ride, but it started raining and the combination of rain and cold didn't sound like much fun. Next month is the big Urban Bikes at Urban Nights ride I believe, so I'll definitely be doing that. There is nothing better than getting 200+ people on bikes taking over downtown Dayton. I can't wait! 

That's all I've got for now... but I might add more later tonight if anything interesting happens during First Fridays.
