David/Doug - I'd love to meet you in San Clemente for lunch next weekend if possible - let me know!
Move in day at the college, and they wanted faculty to say hello to the new students, so no riding for me. I was trying to get them to get bikes and ride around town. Talked with about a half dozen Portland families, none of whom rode bicycles. I told them, "you're wasting your residency!" Looking forward to an afternoon ride tomorrow - its been a while.
