Clear from the start...

When the first 4 miles on the highway take you longer to drive than it would take you to walk, you probably want to find an excuse to skip work. Especially when this is the first day after a week's vacation....

Oh well, at least the weekend (and the previous week) was pleasant. Although the constant threat of thunderstorms (per weather.com's forecast and radar) that never materialized called off the bike ride plans for Sunday. *sigh* Exercise would have been good for the kid (well, and for me).
