I wanted so desperately to buy myself a bike for my birthday today, but that would have been foolish… As Heidi put it, “If you go into the showroom today and ride out on a bike, you’d better just keep on riding!” :) I’ll get my bike eventually, I know, but it will be another couple months at least. Still have too many loose ends to tie up…

In lieu of a bike, I received a book on sport riding. Goes into lots of things I learned from the MSF, and much more. Lots of things relating directly to track skills. Would be nice to get on a track! I also got River’s Edge. If you haven’t seen this movie, it’s a must see. :) Finally what self-respecting Filipino would not include good food to celebrate a birthday. I got a Texas Sheet Cake from mom, and I’m just throwing in the veggies for my double batch of Pork Sinigang! This is the best batch I’ve made yet. Even beats mom’s! :) Oh, and yes Charity, I will save you some. ;)

Off to pour some scotch and relax. :) Take care out there. :)
