I took the day off today for the Evergreen Safety Foundation’s motorcycle training course. It really makes no sense whatever to do this right now, but the courses are booked up months in advance, and this was the first date available when I bought my motorcycle. So here I am, three weeks from the ship date of a product I am suddenly responsible for, less than two weeks from Burning Man, and I’m taking the day off to go ride motorcycles. Oh, well, it’ll all work out somehow.

Time for bed now. Tomorrow is day 2, and the course starts – across the lake in Kirkland – at 8 AM.
