It was great to have dinner with Dani, Gayle, and Mom. Fortunately, the weather was good. We picked a restaurant with outdoor dining and chose a Monday, because restaurants are usually least crowded on Mondays. I can’t imagine what this place is like on the weekends, because it was definitely hopping on Monday. It’s easy to see why. The food was unique and quite good.

We had an unusual neighborhood event. One of the cyclists invited neighborhood cyclists to a 20 mile bike ride to Savage Mill Mall. Six of us took the ride. I’ve made this ride many times. It’s mostly on trails. It is very well shaded. And it terminates at a bakery. I had given up on the bakery. Their food was expensive and not very good. What I didn’t know is that the bakery was taken over by Roggenart. I ate my food bar while everybody else had a nice pastry. Lesson learned.

I’m not sure if I’ve already said this, but I stopped supporting our neighborhood’s office computers. I still support our website and a resident database, but all other computer support has been turned over to Bob. This week we hired a new events coordinator. We needed a new Email address and a few other changes. It felt very strange, because people were still sending requests to me. I kept on forwarding requests, questions, and answers between the players. I hope we finally have everybody wired up so requests go where they should go next time. One nice thing — Bob called me with a question about about our office network. I was on the Savage Mill ride and didn’t return the call for a couple of hours. Fortunately, the documentation I had written included the information he needed. He was able to do everything without my help. It’s nice when effort becomes useful.

That’s it for this week. I hope this finds everybody doing well.
