He had the presence of mind to plan ahead (whiskey).

Day 48: Let’s Thank Ed
Daddy left his phone at work, but Ed came to the rescue. We got up, dressed, and fed in record time this morning. Someone (who’s name starts with Z) was up super-late and didn’t get up until after 7.
And now the circle is complete
This is so funny. @yesiamprecious recognized @mellowjohnnys. http://apexhunter.posterous.com/noodle-and-precious-at-mellow-johnnys

Noodle thought I was funny. If I hadn’t had that heart cockle bypass a few years ago, they’d be warming.
Day 47: Breakfast, yes. Lunch, no.
The cold front held off long enough to make the ride this morning pleasant. Tomorrow, probably not so much. Big Z was up very late last night and was a zombie this morning, but French toast sticks perked her up. For some reason she’s fallen out of love with school lunch, so she is packing PB&J today.
Day 46: Pedal and Giggle
Zoe had the high-speed giggles this morning. She also discovered that she could affect the trajectory of the bike by wiggling around, much to her delight and my consternation.
Day 45: Say Cheese (and NO to drugs)
This week is anti-drug week at school. They are signifying their opposition to illicit drug use through different clothing options and today they are going to “sock it to drugs” by wearing crazy, mismatched socks. I wish they were just having crazy sock day.
Day 44: RFID and Me
Zoe learns about passive surveillance through the school’s Boltage program. Kids who walk or ride their bikes to school get a tag that is read by a sensor near the bike rack. Days they ride or walk are tracked and there are rewards and stuff, but most importantly the kids become comfortable with having their movements tracked and entered in a database. (Kidding. Sort of.)
Noodle and Precious at Mellow Johnny’s
I’ve been following http://yesiamprecious.com and http://nodirectionknown.com during their trip across the country and have really enjoyed it. Today, I was picking up some last minute gear for the Livestrong Challenge ride and when I walked into Mellow Johnny’s I saw Precious, and a few minutes later Janeen too. She was very gracious, after getting over the surprise of being recognized by a complete stranger in a strange town. Here, Zach poses next to Precious (he usually vibrates like this, especially after meeting Internet-famous cyclists and their bikes).
Day 43: Heavy Clouds, No Rain
There was thunder and lightning this morning with clouds as black as Daddy’s mood. No rain, but we drove anyway.
Day 42: I Can Haz Chebrg
Zoe proudly shows off the cheeseburger drawing she contributed to the classes food appreciation mural. To be honest, the food choices available at the school are one of the only things I’ve been unhappy about. They need some Jamie Oliver tough love at Austin ISD.
