Is it Monday again already? My days are becoming a blur. This summer is proving to be a hot one and all I want to do after my morning ride is come home and pass out. Which is what I did. So, if this seems a tad incoherent, I apologize. I might still be in that groggy phase after you are awoken too early. Another reason my days are all a blur is San Diego has a super huge event coming up this week which I’m attending. Perhaps you’ve heard of a little thing called Comic Con? No? Well, look it up.
