I'm calling in sick

I need a day off

Here’s something that makes little sense to me - almost as little sense as writing a post explaining why I'm too sick to write a post.

Riding 100 miles in one day?

It was tough but the next day I was doing yard work.

Riding 100 miles over two days - 50 miles per day?

I’m sick as a dog.

It seems that this fool is used to pushing his limits one day then recovering the next.

I need a day off.

So,

No foolsletter today.

I’m taking a gravol and going to sleep while the sun’s still shining.

See you tomorrow.

P.S. This doesn't count as the foolsletter. This is merely a sick note. Requires significantly less intestinal fortitude (which, frankly, is lacking today).
