Calling Mr. Oughterbee!

Silly, been married too long, inside kind of joke:
"what are you doing?"
"Nothing."
"Well you ought to be doing your chores."
"Ought-er-be? Calling Mr. Oughter Be!"

Okay, well I didn't say it was particularly clever. Or even that it made much sense. Although it's much better than the "I'm a chip!" joke. Don't ask.

However with less than a week to go before the Sea Otter Classic, Mr. Oughter Bee is definitley on my mind. Or should that be "Otter Be"?

F'r instance:
I "otter be" preriding the Sea Otter XC course, especially if I'm racing it Sunday.
I "otter be" spending as much time on my bike as possible, preparing for the race.
I "otter be" making a list of all the things I need to bring, including rain gear.
I "otter be" printing out maps, cleaning out the car, grocery shopping...taking care of all these little last minute details.

Instead I'm sitting at the kitchen table on the Sunday morning before the Otter messing with my blog. Yes, well. Every life should have a balance you know. I'll get to it...eventually...


"Mr. Otter Be! Calling Mr. Otter Be!"
