Why Do I Follow Him?

Why do I follow your dad? He has led me into molten lava, left me in the cold depths of Travis Lake,and now alone on a dark street without adequate bike lights.

The plan was to go up Anderson Mill, on a perfectly good sidewalk and then back down on a perfectly good sidewalk. Did we follow the plan? No, your dad wanted to take a little side trip around the Milwood neighborhood and I followed. This entailed driving on busy streets, people coming home from work in the dark and barely missing me as they turn down their streets or in their driveways. Check out the picture on the right - this was my view coming home AND the view car drivers had of me. Needless to say, I survived only to do some research on night cycling, lights and laws. Sad news though, Godzilla died. Your dad is at Academy now picking out a new bike. Good news, we didn't get run over and biked for over 40 minutes.

All I've eaten today is a grapefruit, pretzel roll, coffee, and hamburger equivalent to about 850 calories. NO FRIES!!! Do you realize what an accomplishment that is for your Dad & I? We have not had Fries going on 4 weeks now. Jillian said to find successes.

I'm going to watch Medium now and do some Total Gym Squats. Keep up the blogging - I want to hear more success stories so I don't lose momentum.
