Finally a slow day. Between training for the AIDS/Lifecycle ride, practicing, teaching, rehearsal with 3 (4 next week) different groups, and recent trips, I haven't been around much. But things seem to be settling dow a bit, so that's good.
However, the reason for today's slowness is not so great. At the end of my ride yesterday, at the last stoplight before my house, with about 1/2 mile of warm-down to go, I took off when the light turned green, and as my left foot cranked down on the pedal, I felt a twinge in my lower back, and I have not been able to stand up straight. I don't normally get pains like this. Oh well, it happens. It SUCKS, but it happens.
Had to borrow a heating pad yesterday, which really was quite nice. I had never used one before, if you can believe that. Used it again earlier this morning. Nice.
Anyway, with a few hours off before teaching lessons and no bike ride or practice time, I think it'll be a good day to do some cleaning, as my normal cleaning day of Saturday will be taken up with the Earthquakes season opener!!!!! Game time 7:30, I'll be at the Hut at 3:30!
WOOOO!!!

You are indeed one of the busiest musicians I know! You seem to sign on to cool projects that you actually enjoy, too, which makes it nice to hear about in your bloggies. Hope your hinky back straightens up soon. Be gentle with it and don't stray from that heating pad too much.
