Ouch.
Here are my findings from the last couple of days:
1. It is not a good idea for me to ride with the 4/5 guys at the track.
2. Track-rash hurts like hell.
3. The Donimator is always good for a comforting word and doesn't even mind my pitiful wimpering after a good crash. Even though I drive a Honda.
4. The Walgreens on Central Ave (on the way home from the track) does not stock Tegaderm. The one in Uptown does. It also stocks a wide variety of tweezers, including pointed ones specially made for extracting splinters.
5. Roomie Paula would be a great surgeon, judging from her ability to deftly extract buried splinters from my back with an exacto knife.
6. Working on a Saturday sucks.
7. I'm glad Gilby is back at the track!
Mom - I crashed at the track, but everything is fine, nothing's broken. And after not riding for two days, I'm ready to head out tomorrow for a long ride in Wisconsin!

I'm sorry to hear that you're wearing some of the track now! I think there's some sort of special club for people with Afzelia splinters...there's probably a secret handshake. I'm sorry I wasn't there to beg you not to do the 4/5's race.
Heal quickly!!
And I feel bad for encouraging you to try a 4/5s race :c(
AN EXACTO KNIFE?! That makes me feel all queasy and lightheaded just thinking about it. I used a [disinfected] sewing needle to pry mine out far enough to get a grip on 'em with a tweezers.
Hope you are feeling better!
I'm not too excited about it. I'd probably be more excited if I was going to school somewhere more interesting, like Colorado.
See ya in Chicago!! Maybe this time I'll actually recognize you. I didn't know who was who in Wisconsin.
yikes I was wondering what happened to you when I saw you last night!! - just didn't get a chance to crash. Man I need to be at the track more often to know what's going on!
since I'm out of the loop enough not to know people's nicknames ... who is the Dominator?
