Significantly, Jamie’s birthday and party has come and gone, so before I write that up, I may as well casually mention that the 2009 Cape of Storms was quite fun. Everything that has been said was true, but nevertheless I’ll certainly do it again.

The novelty of riding so many inaccessable/closed routes was awesome, and is still sort of front-of-mind as I commute to and from Town everyday. My finish time was just under 5 hours, which was fine considering. A mapping table I recently saw suggests that my 2009 time would actually map to just under 4hr. Whatever… I’d rather do it for real next year.

The rest of the family are still alive and kicking, usually sometime around 3am. Jan and I are still seriously crushed with sleep-dept, and our various work situations have been extremely exhausting of late as we’ve both been grappling with unreasonable (- understated) clients demonstrating psychotic and/or narcisisstic illnesses… sorry for us!

But the kids avoid the stress fortunately… largly…
