Tonight I did my first after-work dirt road ride of this season that was
completely in the dark, thanks to Daylight Saving Time ending last
weekend. I was a little hesitant to get
started, but once I was out there, I remembered that getting going is the
hardest part. The ride was fun, as
usual.
I did have a bit of an extra challenge tonight. It’s rained over four inches in the last few
days, turning the dirt roads into peanut butter. It slowed me down noticeably, and of course
my bike and I were both quite sloppy when we got home.
About 20 years ago, Nick at Nite showed back-to-back episodes
of classic TV shows on weeknights, focusing on a different show each
night. One of my favorites was
“Bewitched,” which was played on Wednesdays.
Thus, they called it Bewitched BeWednesday. In one hilariously memorable scene, Endora
casts a spell on Darrin, causing a storm cloud to rain right over his
head. Outraged, a drenched Darrin confronts
Endora. Endora coos, “Oh, Darrin, don’t
you look all fresh and dewy?” I could
have used one of Endora’s storm clouds after my ride tonight. For me, it was
Besquished BeWednesday.
