Welcome to bike season!  With the flip of a switch, we went from weeks of moving at a turtle’s pace (no offense to turtles), doing exactly what I or we wanted to do, to attempting a win in the hare’s race. Just not enough time during the day to accomplish all that is needed so exhaustion settles in on the drive home. Our day unwinds with a Jeopardy round. Each of us shouting out the answers trying to determine who is the winner each night. This is not as easy as our Quiddler games. High fives are passed out for answers to difficult or obscure questions. Some nights I am so tired I cannot concentrate on the question let alone answer. Never a yeller, Jeff is known for his “looks”… and a look of “How could you possibly know that?” is responded with “How dare you think I could not possibly know about that subject” either visually or verbally. Once Jeff said I was even smarter than he thought. Though he claims this was a compliment, due to my reaction, I took this as an insult. The jury is still out on this one and I remind him about the incident when I answer an obscure question. As the sun sets later and the nights are warmer we will forego Jeopardy and return to the patio counting the doves roosting in our spruces, waiting for the bats to silhouette themselves against the sunset and waiting for the flash of the fireflies. I cant wait to see Gus again!

How do you unwind at the end of the day?
