Short, Sweet and Celebratory

So in a little more than 90 minutes from now I'll have my old computer in the back of my car and be heading towards Computer Guru's locale to data dump the old system onto the new hot guy. I'm absolutely terrified! I will have so many new things to learn and get my head around and I have to do it quickly - I have fiction waiting, art projects waiting and I have to keep up to date with the company website. That's the thing that is frightening me more than anything else - I have people depending on me for beta work and my website products and I need to be able to do both things easily. And some of the new versions of programs won't play nicely with my old data. This is me...jumping off a cliff...hoping that I either sprout wings or that the ground is actually there only three feet below the edge.

What lies below the cliff edge? I'll be finding out later today and tomorrow!

Tomorrow is July 4th, our nation's birthday celebration. I've always envied people born on this day - the entire country sends off fireworks for them. How utterly kewl that is! Anyway - because it is a holiday and I have the day off from work I won't be posting my blog on Thursday.

Happy 4th of July tomorrow. We'll be grilling hamburgers and chicken sausages,
making iced tea and enjoying a day off from work. 

However, Le Tour progresses. Today is a sprinter's paradise as we leave Cagnes-Sur-Mer and head towards Marseille - 228.5 km. It's got hills, even a cat 3 early in the run, but the other three hills are cat 4, so pretty minimal for these guys.

Wednesday is rolling but not super hard with one cat 3 and three cat 4 hills.

On July 4th the route has a single cat 4 and straight going again as it roams from Aix-en-Provence to Montpellier. Sprinters days - both. Crashes can (and usually do) occur on these types of days.

Day Six on July 4th is flat, flat, flat!  This is a sprinter's paradise and only
the wind could play a part as the riders move towards the Pyrenees on Saturday.

So...I'll talk with everyone again on Friday July 5th on my new Beastie. I'll need a name for that bad boy...hmmm....any suggestions?
