Yeah...it kinda tries. I was tired when I went to bed last night but I went to bed and tossed for a while and had to go through relaxation techniques to fall asleep. I got up to hit the bathroom at 3am and I almost stayed up. I slept till 6am and the brain turned fully on..so I got up a bit ago. I have way to many things to work on today...and I want a bike ride. So, I need to see if mel is up for a ride or not. I'm gonna try the tanque verde loop which should be a nice 10 miles or so.

My brain is just firing away on many, many things. Gah. So, time to get going on the day but first as requested recipes.
