Foo tix in the rain

Booked it to RVC today and made it just in time. I suppose tomorrow morning I'll be back on a normal schedule -- it was fun while it lasted.

Bought tix for Foo Fighters upon exiting Penn Station @ MSG box office and had a nice chat with the vendor about my bike. He rides too, from Harlem. Our seats are not great but they have some potential depending on the stage/platform layout. I realize that I could've done stubhub, but at least it's in stone, now.

It's raining a bit today, so I twist the ipod around the back side of my arm so there's substantially less chance of rain. Listening to disc 1 of In Your Honor this morning. I'm moving pretty swiftly considering the conditions and that I already had one hard ride.

I'm making it a point to ride faster and harder on the straightaway parts of the path. I am feeling pretty lean as I had a couple of solid workouts Sat and Yesterday. This is what I am made of. The goal is to keep pushing. I was really bummed about the triathlon's cancellation and all this pent-up-edness is still stored up inside me.

As I was passing the final building of the WFC the ME of the building walked right out toward his bike. He was looking down and not left and right, as I am accustomed to doing and he was dressed more like a bicyclist than I do (I look like I'm going to beach volleyball or gym class). I quickly just said "dude, look out" and he let out this weird, too-falsetto-for-evil laugh as he looked at me. I'm not scared of something that sounds that acted out. If you're trying to intimidate me, you fail. If that was a laugh of some sort of ironic introspection, fine, but now your balls need to drop a little bit before you let the squeal out. I almost expected this guy to follow me to Albany St., but he didn't. And what would he have done anyway? Fight me? It'd be worth his doing it, just so I could knock him out but in the end I am distracted by the fact that there's a ton of cops and workers in the new ground zero sidewalk to my left. They were awaiting some sort of shirt or instructions.

I made my way to the freight entrance and in I go.

Thank you for reading.
