Look, this is after work, before dinner and before a mountain stage of the Tour de France. Even on the DVR, skipping the commercials, I still have several hours of watching the best riders in the world move their feet in tiny circles. And it starts at …
On teeve nights it's dinner at … 9:15.
The glamorous life. 😃

The Tour is usually in July. That it’s happening at all this year is pretty incredible. And the race has been entertaining, with potential for a great finish. But right about here, as we’re beginning Stage 18, you feel like you’re in the race, too. They’re doing the riding, but this is an endurance event for everyone. And, when it runs in the summer, I at least have a regular work schedule. But the split days of the fall … it’s an endurance event all its own.
Life, as they say, is tough.
Not really, but I could do for some more sleep. They ride onto the Champs-Élysées this weekend.
So trying to get everything in leaves me feeling a little ragged just now, but, most importantly, it’s worth it to see the TV folks do their thing:

They’re just a week in, finding their sea legs, and things are already moving efficiently.
It’s going to be a great year in the studio.
