SBF2: Reboot Boogaloo - April 3rd
I love coffee. Just thought I would share that. Yesterday, I didn't do the bike ride - 30 mph winds with 50 mph gust - and a dust advisory. With the way my head has felt, I thought it wise. Besides, I had enough wind last Saturday. Did do a walk/jog and a yoga class. Today, yep, another bike ride planned. I have some…
