9.25 miles on the bike to work.  I left my Garmin at work yesterday after turning it on to locate satellites.  Fortunately it was still there.  Unfortunately its battery is dead.  Also, unfortunately I left my keys at home today thinking I wouldn't need them because I'm not driving.  However, I do need to get into my office.  Fortunately there is a spare key up front.  Fortunately I got to ride my bike to work today.  Unfortunately that means Emily is still sick.  I think I could make a fortune telling people their fortunes.  Or unfortunes.

9.75 miles home.  I felt good, but my back gradually seized up, and I want to cry like a baby.

From Burt on Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 10:26:08 from 71.216.109.214

That's fortunate. And effective. Keep up the good work.

Hold your bladder. I have to think.

Unfortunately I read this entire post - other than the fact that Emily is still sick (sad).

From Burt on Wed, Oct 24, 2012 at 15:43:02 from 71.216.109.214

Fortunately you're still alive Chad. And that's something.

From Rhett on Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 10:59:05 from 74.41.239.14

Is Unfortunes a word? Wouldn't that be misfortunes? Funny stuff Burt.

From Burt on Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 12:20:27 from 71.216.109.214

Rhett - there's probably 500 different words we could come up with for the root word fortune. Let's make a list and call it the Fortune 500.

From The Quiet Pirate on Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 12:47:33 from 152.26.230.54

Emily is sick? Blimey!

From Burt on Thu, Oct 25, 2012 at 12:48:15 from 71.216.109.214

She went to school today. And I went to the chiropractor because I could hardly walk.
