View From the Bushes

Well as I mentioned, I took today off, and as is often (always?) the case, I wasn't as productive as I would have hoped. A big part of the problem is that based on the biking schedule I've been maintaining, this morning I was suppossed to ride my bike again, so I did. Of course, since it was my day off I went longer than normal and put in around 20 miles, which really isn't that much, but it pretty much wiped me out for the rest of the day In fact, and I'm ashamed to admit this, I ended up taking a morning and an afternoon nap...

The obvious solution was to not go biking this morning, but every time I try and get into shape (or perhaps more accurately get to the point where I don't get winded climbing into bed) something comes up and next thing I know it's been months since I broke a sweat. So this time I'm determined not to fall off the wagon, as it were. I did get a fair amount done, it's just that generally I have this vision of hyper-productivity for my days off, which as you can imagine almost never quite lives up to the hype.

I did get one big thing done today. I ordered some DireKobold t-shirts, which I'll be taking with me to GenCon. Early on I decided that I wanted some kind of pithy phrase on the back. Deciding that and actually coming up with a pithy phrase are two different things. Early on I came up with:

For those who want their adventures to be like their love-making: hot, flexible and electronic.

But I knew this wasn't going to go over very well with the more conservative elements in my family (for example, my wife complained that the kids couldn't wear it). But after days if not weeks of thought I couldn't come up with anything better (and this statement did play very well with the target demographic 18-38 year old males). Finally, to corrupt something Voltaire once said, done is better than perfect (or even good for that matter). So there you have it.
