It’s been two days

… And I’m still wondering what this is about. I think it’s a set of giant spark plugs.

Or maybe it’s some sort of intricate hairstyle set up. Just in case you need a permanent while you’re traveling up the interstate. I suppose it could be a set for a new Devo video. Or a rack for the Coneheads stage makeup.

Most probably it has some sort of X-Files use and the tarp covering system fell off and we were either given a glimpse into a conspiracy or were exposed to an insidious mind control program.

Yeah, probably just a Devo video. Whip it good!

What do you think these things are?

Hanging with the fam’

Friday I sat on the porch swing with my mother and enjoyed a beautiful spring morning. Spent some time at the pool, hung out with a college kid. You know, the usual. Saturday we visited with my grandfather and my uncle. And, just as importantly:

Also, we had a session with a lovely little pooch:

We went to church and had lunch with my grandfather on Sunday. We had dinner at a barbecue joint with my stepfather to round out the Father’s Day festivities. We had a lovely little weekend all the way around.

On the road

We’re heading down to the ancestral haunts for a weekend of nothing much to do. It’s a seven-hour haul, and tonight it involved a welcome break to visit with academic and journalist friends over dinner in Nashville. The choice, as ever, was barbecue:

It was the right choice. You knew it just from the way the sunlight splashes down on the place:

We got in just in time to say hello to my mother and goodnight.

Not pictured, because she was way up the road: My wife

Sixty or so miles over the last few days has, thus far, been high volume for me this year.

On the last two rides there have been 10 timed segments. All of them were well off my pace. But that could be the theme of the year. Well off my pace. Maybe the next ride should be a recovery ride.
