Another "out of office" day....

[lagilman]

Today was... both quite productive (despite my usual grumbles, the deflag of the copyedit for FIXED is going well, and should be finished tomorrow) and really frustrating, on fronts I can't discuss.  So around 2pm, after a phone call to deal with some of the frustration, I decided "screw it" and hauled out the bike, and headed out.


I made it down to Pier 1 Cafe at 70th Street, following the 3rd Law of "Bike to the Beer." Then I proved that you can in fact read off an iPad screen in bright sunlight, and got through a few manuscript submissions before biking home.


the view from the West Harlem pier, looking up-river:



the wages of cycling are beer.  Note Watson the iPad in red, waiting to be put to work...


the view from Pier 1 (70th St), looking toward the West Side of Manhattan:


The ride home was entirely into the wind. My knees have lodged a formal complaint, and have demanded another beer, and steak (they got it it).

I am still cranky about various things occurring, but since I can't DO anything about those things, I'm just going to enjoy the sunlight, the well-earned ache, and the pleasant lethargy from mmmmmmsteak.

Tomorrow, I kill the rest of the copyedit.

That sounds like a good thing to do with part of the day.
