Got a great looking morning with dry air and bright sun shining through the window.

We’ll see about the “rip it up” line, but just thinking about it will give me a good smile while I’m on the bike later this morning with good man Ken from the next town over.

But first, gas in the tank that I expect to keep me going for 40 or so miles (I’ll follow up when I get back). Coffee (ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY – for me) that’s actually half coffee, half milk, a shot of cinnamon, and a spoon of fresh whipped cream (I don’t leave home without it). Then toasted flaxseed bread (one of the only breads I’ve found without added sugar – tastes great) with homemade almond/peanut butter and small spread of pumpkin butter. Along with the toast, fresh fruit – this morning, chopped papaya (which I got perfectly ripe from the discount rack at the grocery store – great buy, great flavor!), raspberries, and sliced fresh fig all topped with plain non-fat Greek yogurt (3-4 times the protein content of regular yogurt), a shot of whipped cream, and chopped date, dried prune, and dried apricot.
