A bit of regret?
Becky told me today about a lot of the people who were in London asking about where I was… I mean Katie V, Becky, Ashley, and Rebecca Schermel took a road trip down to London to visit RMP peeps from ‘05, and then I’m sitting in Guelph and I don’t get to see RMP’05 peeps or the NAP’06 peeps at all. And then I would have visited Ben as well.
Part of me wants to apologize for not visiting Western (I’m sorry). I really wanted to come. I wanted to see everyone. I wanted to especially see Tim, who I haven’t seen since NAP ended. And I wanted to check out Ben’s new pad.
Oh well, but the main reason that I didn’t go was that I had already committed to helping to lead worship on Sunday at the Priory Park. Of course if I had gone to London I would have missed hosting Nick Orford Saturday night (which I don’t regret whatsoever). I also would have missed totally rocking it out with The Tom, Alex, and Kent Fisher-Price. And I probably would not have spent all of Sunday afternoon and the early evening taking a super-long nap.
I don’t really regret, I’m forcing myself not to. When I’m committed to something, I’m trying my very best to be totally there and not letting my mind be wandering off somewhere else.
In other news, on Friday I bent my rear wheel axle and will need to fix it before I can use my commuter bike. I tore out of the house late this morning and hammered it on my road bike to the nearest open bike shop to buy a messenger bag that fits a laptop. The laptop sleeve ended up being slightly too small and now I need to order another size. However, I did receive a free road rear derailleur that I can use as a chain tensioner so that I don’t keep busting rear axles.
It has been raining for most of the afternoon and evening, shifting between downpour and drizzle. I found out that my rain jacket is not waterproof anymore, which means I just might need to look into purchasing a new jacket also. My main issue is that because I bike almost everywhere, including through the winter, I put so much abuse into my clothing and outer layers. It’s difficult to find products that will stand that abuse but won’t cost a fortune because I go through them every two years.

haha, now i can see why you were so surprised at what I considered a shout out! I hadn’t read this post so I was refering to the previous post with the weekly meeting game. No, the fact that I am on a list of people would not be considered one lol.
