hey,
thanks for the response of so many . .
my dad is doing well ..
he's positive and fighting.
as of today "they" are done with the first round of chemo,
they're taking out the direct line to his heart where
they had been pumping the poison . .
in a couple days we'll see how he responded

thing on my end have been a maze. .
things kind of flipped upside down.
the normal tasked i now find difficult. .
i guess that's a bit of depression.
i remembered the other day, the first ride on my TT
bike that there's going to be a Prologue event in a weeks time. .
it was the first i thought about and visualized that moment. .
made me realize the distractionn. .
the mental distraction, over the past couple weeks.. .

did some repeat climbs with LL the other day. .
by the third one,
having progressively been dropped sooner and sooner into the intervals,
i was sitting in the grass,
bike on it's side
high up on Ida Clayton over looking SOnoma county. .
he slowed as he decended for the last one. .
"did you crash again?"
sort of, i responded,
as i made a cleat adjustment to my shoe. . .

we motorpaced home. .

yesterday was bit better. .

hopefully again today,
and then Cherry Pie crit in Napa on sunday.
