One constant thing.

[Manuel Acosta]

Sometimes our physical activities are the only constant thing in our lives. 

Enjoy every minute that you are active. Your body, mind and spirit will appreciate it. I know mine does. 

Just some things that keep me sane through the month:

Do something with a love one, to remind yourself that you have people that care about you.

Then do something for yourself, to remind yourself that you are that change to make your day better.

One good weekend proves that this works:

Some highlights.

Rivendell Visit

- Tried to convince Sean on going on a ride up Tam but he seemed pretty busy with school.

- Got to meet new guy Will. pretty nice fellow with a pretty nice bike. Apparent he likes working at Rivendell. 

- Chat it up with Scott about school stuff glad I'm not the only teacher feeling the hardships of teaching. 

- Got to talk to always smiley Harry about his trip from Hawaii.

Always good to go to a bike shop where most of your time spent there is just catching up with everyone at the shop.

Ape Con with the ladyfriend.

- Went through the craziness of riding downtown to see Ashley's sister at APE Con. 

Explored Sunol Regional Wilderness

- Plans for Tam didn't work out so explore somewhere new.

- Got lost. 

Pictures proved that all you need to do is be outside to have a good weekend:

Manny:

Implicit in your weekend adventures is that "It's always more fun on a Rivendell". 

Any front low rider rack sightings while you were at RBWHQ?

Recently saw a documentary called "American Teacher". Got it at the local library on DVD.

If being a teacher is really like it is portrayed in that movie, then that is one brutal job.

 

I know a lady who teaches in my area. I asked her about it. When she started talking about the system and the crushing workloads, she started getting emotional.

 

I always thought teaching would be a fun job. They need to start treating you all better, paying a whole lot more, and hiring more teachers per school to lighten the load.

If I was a kid in Walnut Creek, I'd ask the teacher if we can go on a field trip to Rivendell Bicycle Works.
