ok, so they did not call last night.....a fact that i did not realize thoroughly until i woke up with the rain and cold at 3:00 am...........and then i cold not go back to sleep for all of the worry about every worst case scenario........i went to a party after work with the running community.......everybody wanted to know how they are doing.........gentle readers, be aware that most of these folks see my husband as much or more than me when you add up his running and biking time........they miss him as much as i do..........at the party there were people who had not heard about the grapes of wrath testing debacle, and ecw's refusal tolet scw take along the 2 full-size books in the bike bags, and the buying of the cliff notes.......one friend looked incredulous that we had failed to simply download both books on our palmpilot.........and then even more incredulous that we have no palm pilot..............having the internet is a big step for the c-w's....lets not be too hasty about technology.........
