After about five days of drinking Celestial Seasoning’s “Morning Thunder” as my breakfast beverage, I had coffee again today. I am going to have to increase the amount of MT to two bags, because coffee still gives way more of a kick. Apparently the formulation of MT changed at some point. Too bad. I must say, however, that I do notice an effect from MT - less stimulatory, more...

Rode my bike home around 8:30 PM yesterday. It was dark out, very dark and pretty cold. I was apprehensive. The pasta from lunch really carried me through and it was a fantastic ride.

Got up at 6, left the house at 7:10 (late due to flat rear tire discovered right before leaving). Used too big a tube to replace it, so I got a pinch flat in Mission Hills. Walked bike back home, waited for Cal Coast to open at 10. New Gatorskin tire, 3 new tubes, new (stronger) tire levers: $67. Replaced tire, tube, hit the road. Finally in lab around 11:30 (hey, my times are headed lower!),...
