Back in the saddle again.

• I'm getting good at triumphal returns to work.


• Which isn't necessarily a good thing.


• Everyone was glad to see me back.


• Did the East Bay route, as that driver wasn't in today.


• Even with a pile of stuff added to it from the LV1 route, it was still a pretty light day.


• Only real headaches was having to go to Memorial Stadium at UC Berkeley and all the way up to Hercules.


• Having my teeth in for an extended, active, period for the first time after a long lay off was its usual chore.


• The new boots are great, but breaking them in is going to take a little while.


• Also taking a while is going to be my ankles getting used to the new order of things.


• Got out just after eight hours, and after much confusion about my pick-ups on route.


• Came home, ate too much salsa, and decided to forgo my usual three hour news block (BBC America, Keith Olberman, and Rachael Maddow) in favor of sleep.


• Up now just long enough to drink a Coke and post this, then back to bed.
