The weather yo-yo is about to take another big plunge this weekend. Right now it's in the mid twenties. By Sunday morning, it'll be -13F. Monday we'll be back up to 18F. Looks like no outdoor riding this weekend. I guess I'll have to stick the bike on the trainer and sweat it out in the basement (insert gigantic shudder here).
Related to no outdoor biking, I'm really getting tired of driving. This weekend is shaping up to be a fun-filled car one. On a normal Saturday I make the girls take the bus to karate. They don't really mind, they figure it puts The Old Man in a good mood when he can ride public transit and feel a sense of moral superiority. Tomorrow we're looking at windchills of 20-30 below zero. I suppose we could all stand and wait at the bus stop, but I'm afraid in doing so girls are going to end up resenting me. That resentment will turn to bitterness and the bitterness to rebellion. Rebellion will take the form of them leaving home, moving to Ft. Lauderdale, working at Hooters and driving hunormous SUVs. All because I forced them to take the bus on a cold day. Guess I'll drive. Ahhh parenting. It's all about those little compromises made today to head off a train wreck tomorrow.

But what's wrong with working at Hooters and driving enormous SUVs?
Nothing if you're into that kinda thing. I guess the thought of that doesn't make my heart swell with pride.
Well, if it makes your daughters' hearts swell with pride, that can only enhance the general area of the body that Hooters likes to promote.
