Highlights from the trip: July 5

Bryce Canyon has a hoodoo shaped like a poodle. Poodle hoodoo. Poodlehoodoo, poodlehoodoo, poodlehoodoo...

Thunderstorm, shmunderstorm. If it's gone by the time you arrive, then you made the right decision on departure, right?

It's awkward to party with 20 people you don't know, but if they're nice people, that helps a lot. So does a huge amount of Domaine Chandon rose' champagne.

Saw my first room-size studio-apartment-size hot tub with waterfall. Wow. It's hard to remember a whole bunch of names when suddenly everyone is in a bathing suit and you don't have hairstyles or clothing to go by any more, but hey, you can just talk about how stunning the room is.

I remember something like that when I was training for my Death Valley century bike ride. I'd only seen my fellow riders all summer in biking gear, and just before heading west for the event, we had a nice dinner party and I didn't recognize anyone without a second look. :-)
