So Friday came and went. I rode my bike to work on what would be my last day on my current project. Luckily I was able to work in McLean instead of MD. After work a quick dash out to Colt’s Neck to ride a loop with the Pedalshop boys. They put it down in a fast loop and I hung on to the back of the group, making it back to the parking lot as darkness reigned. A couple of beers and it was back home. The trails were super dry, nice and fast. Managed to clear the concrete water crossing without slipping on the algae, which is always good.
Saturday morning, 7:00 AM, came all too quick. Up early, Kristin and I made the trek into DC to join our friends for the 1st annual 5k Walk for Epilepsy. We donned our special t-shirts they had made up - “Moss Mania: Epilepsy Sucks…We Rock!”, and then we walked. A good time was had by all. After the walk, we wandered over to the Belga Cafe. Not only do they have Rodenbach, they have it on tap! Belgian cuisine and true Belgian beer…very nice!
Sunday was another early start. I helped the new Colt’s Neck liaison (Chris) conduct the first trail work day at the park this year. We had 7 people show up to help with the work. Coffee, donuts, and bagels were consumed. Swag was given away. An amazing amount of work was completed and I think the trail is in much better shape. It’s supposed to be 78 degrees today, so a visit out to the park might be in order, ha.
After all that, I’m back at work, only today I’m on overhead. I’ve got a meeting with some folks on another project today. These particular folks are from the other office outside Boston, MA, where the project is located. More news as it develops…

Sorry I missed the trail love, but the party Saturday night went a bit late and was a bit beery and, well, 2 ayem loomed large as I lay me down to sleep.
Sounds like a good weekend, indeed.
Be sure to give those nice Boston folks my name/number as a reference. I’ll be sure to put in a good word for you. I’ll start with a word about your raging crack habit. And then add a word about how you kick your dog (regularly). And then one about how you called the priest at your Catholic elementary school a “dress-wearing nancy boy” when you were a kid. I got lotsa good words!

(Note to any current or potential future employees: All that stuff above is BS (as far as I know). I made it up. This guy is first-rate. I’d just rather he and his girl stay here in the DC region, as opposed to relocating to some far-away land).
