Hot and Whatnot

Friday I rolled in behind a teacher friend. Literally. She let the door nearly hit me as I rode up. Didn't hear me coasting on my bike. On the way down the hall she mentioned that I must really be in shape with all the biking. Only when I got to my classroom did my radar go off. So I went back to her classroom (she was on my team the last 2 years, and we are decently close friends) and said to her "you sly fox, I realized what you did." She looked a little nervous so I explained - "when you asked about me being in shape, you hung back a little, and you were checking out my ass." She laughed and admitted she was checking out my calves. But still, a nice ego boost on a lazy Friday.

The day itself was uneventful. Test administered, handwritten progress reports issued. Test graded (most kids did really well, and I graded it gently). On the ride home, however, another ego boost (ok, not really). The final intersection I rode past about 3 cars in line, knowing I was going straight to a basically dead end street. My bike was still in a high gear, so to get going, I had to stand up in the saddle. And as I get to the other side, a pickup truck makes the left behind me and one of the contractors yelled something about "hey sexy"...so anyhow.

Signed up for Netflix this morning. Got a 30 day free trial, and so now I am watching some free online stuff. Dexter, Season 1. Almost bought it, then skipped it, and never watched it rerun on CBS. First episode was really interesting and a little creepy. Already ordered Season 1 of Supernatural (oldest daughter wants to watch it, too) followed by Torchwood. Just 1 disk at a time, but we wouldn't need more than that, anyhow.

Was out in Trenton today, for nephew's birthday (17, a year ahead of oldest, but they are in the same grade). His stepdad is a real Texan...got up at 4am to start smoking the dinner...we had brisket, pulled pork shoulder, ribs, chicken....a real meat faucet. And I plan to smoke my own brisket tomorrow, even though I don't know how many, if any, family members might wander by.
