Old Fools Flight Journal

I should fall off my bike more often. I slept good last night, woke up this morning with no aches and pains (well not any more than usual at least) and wasn't even grumpy. Unfortunately it was raining and a very dark morning so by the time lunch rolled around that changed. Oh well at least I got a little work done on the skate boarders bike.

I just don't know what to do about the Peugeot. It just sat their glaring at me. Once when my back was turned I swear I heard an evil laugh and as an evil stepfather I know what an evil laugh sounds like. Why would anyone design a bike too tall for normal people and make it so nice that I lust for it. I think it's discrimination. Who do I sue?

I'm thinking that out of spite I'll hack it and put it in Alt Bikes except that I'm afraid some Peugeot freak would have me killed.

Oh well I've only got $50.00 in it even with the new tires and tubes so I'll let it sit for a while and think about it. I have done a lot of foolish things in my life (thus the name oldfool) but I think that I will exercise discretion and stay off that bike.

I took the light of my life back to her mother tonight. So there is an emptiness I will have to deal with for a couple of days. She will be with her dad tomorrow. I use to think I was too old for this but it turns out that I am just old enough. I use to think that dedicating ones life to the health, welfare and protection of a princess was just fairytale stuff and I guess it is but some old men need someone to be a Shining Knight for. Lucky is the man that that finds that someone. There are plenty of princesses and not near enough Knights. The unfortunate thing about the job is that there are people that you really dislike that you must protect in the best interest of the princess.

Think I'll take off my armour now and go to bed. This being a knight is hard work.
