After having just finished exams, I went to SBR multisport to see if I could get my hands on a nifty pair of Assos shorts. I tried them on. Sweet jesus, I am in love with $275 shorts, as a result. AGH. I am hunting around for alternatives to them and have thus far found a pair of one model down for $140 bucks and that exact pair for 180 bucks from some dealer on Ebay. That is a lot of money for shorts. You had to try these things, though; they were crazy and incredible all in one. Enough on the shorts.
It is rainy today, and coupled with the fact that yesterday my riding buddy Greg gave me a "deep tissue massage" to my ailing right leg in Central Park which left me on the pathway screaming bloody murder (all expletives you can think of) with an enormous black man bent over squeezing the crap out of my leg having left these immense dark bruises and extremely sore muscles today, I will not ride. Good god my leg feels like pain. I can believe that I have immense knots in that leg, however...even I can feel them. I will somehow have to get some orthpedic dude to look at them when I'm at Sinai this summer.
My plan for today is to make a wonderful Shepherd's Pie from ingredients gleaned at my local Gristedes(!). I will have a warmmmm dinner out of the oven tonight and I will have something to do for the whole day. I'm thinking i'll use fresh potatoes, butter, cream, chives, creamed corn, ground sirloin, bread crumbs and some other goodies when i can think of them and it will be an incredible shepherd's pie. Off to 'stedes I go.
