Tails

I was lying in bed last night, in that weird state of half-awake/half-asleep, watching Abbey sleep and his tail curled up, and thinking about tails. Humans don't have a tail, but look at most other animals? Mammals, reptiles, birds. They all have tails. Why not us? I know there's a perfectly good biological reason for this, but really, why not? It would be so useful!

I had a really strange dream last night, from which I woke up this morning freaked out! It was about a friend/committee member of mine with whom I have a bit of a love/hate relationship. He's one of these people who likes to tease, sometimes to the point where I don't find it funny anymore, and is excellent at hitting buttons. Not alot of people have been able to push me to the brink like he has. I like the guy, work well with him, but we've had some pretty rough blow-outs, usually under times of high-stress (and beer). We always seem to come back to being friends though. Anyway, in this dream, we kinda hooked up, romantically, which is really weird as I've never had any attraction to him before!! Dreams are so hard to put down in writing. It's the visuals, the emotions, that count. I find myself baffled sometimes with this guy - I wonder if he teases because he likes me or hates me, if he has any respect for me, what goes through his mind at times. Maybe that's where the dream comes in - that even though we've had a bit of a tumultuous relationship in the past, that there is a certain amount of caring between us, in a weird, warped kinda way.

Headed to Toronto tomorrow morning. I spent the day cleaning, doing errands, etc. I also picked up a new Spinervals DVD - Aero Base Building (75 min). I'm going to try it tonight. I've got to get back on the trainer and start getting ready for the outdoor season. I've been looking at the Cervelo and Blue webpages. I'm thinking of getting a Cervelo Soloist Team road bike. With Ultegra components. My Eclipse is ok, but the frame isn't the best suited to me.
