I sit here to write my over due entry and am chatting with my mom at the same time. Not only are they not taking Manny, now she is telling me that she has health concerns for her and my dad both. She's been having chest pains and pressure, can't remember things. Yeah, this is making me feel real good. Go see the doctor, go tell him what's happening, don't keep it to yourself any longer. Ugh. This is the excuse along with "we never really thought we would get him" as to why they aren't going to adopt him. I am NOT happy.

Last night was nice. We went to Lisa and Georgia's and had a lovely dinner, played cards and watched the fireworks in the city from the hills in Oakland. Tracy stayed there, while Manny and I drove home. They were effective in getting people to stay home, I think I saw a total of ten cars from thier house to ours. That is until the DUI checkpoint in Walnut Creek, full with about sixty cops both directions. I was the only car for miles. I had to laugh.

Training:
I rode thirty mins on the trail today. This was only after spending fourty five on installing my new comp. The directions are so very vague and the illustrations might as well not exist. So maybe I need to take another shot at it on a day when I am not distracted, or then again be the idiot I am and get the guys at the shop to do it. He he.
