Apr 3 - blowing in the wind

The Answer, My Friend ... oh never mind.  If you don't recognize that song, you're too young !

I certainly was blowin' in the wind yesterday.  From the SE, it was blowing so hard and I was so tired by the time I got to Titusville that it was hard to even enjoy the trip back.  My average speed southbound was barely over 11mph. 

I was fully expecting to get wet but the rains never hit me.  Today looks like something else, however, but since I won't be riding, I don't care as much.

I hung Sandy's new wall ornament outside which was a real pain.  Hopefully it won't blow down.  It's a 3' diameter sun of sorts that she ordered on the internet.  It's now hanging on the wall over the used-to-be-door-and-now-a-window to our bedroom, a nice decoration for our travertine deck / patio / whatever-you-call-it.

It's Lent again and I'm continuing the morning routine that I started last year (and continued even after Lent) --  going to morning Mass.  The numbers drop off a little after Lent to a couple of dozen people and swell to 1.5-2x that during Lent.  It's an easy routine -- up early and to the gym (some days), get Cassie up around 6am, feed her and me, leave here at 6:50 a.m. and back at 7:40 a.m.  Sometimes I make a grocery or Home Depot trip afterwards before coming home since traffic is light.  Why ?  Well, it is easy to do and I have a lot to be thankful for and I don't know if a lifetime of this routine will ever make up for my failings :).  Just ask my kids !

It struck me a couple of weeks ago that I see mostly the same people there every day and I don't know any names.  I'd feel silly walking around and introducing myself and besides, I wouldn't remember names anyway. 

Jeffrey, Sara and the kids arrive this afternoon.  The place is going to be hopping !

Onward.
