I Can See Into the Future

It's time I came clean to you all. I have a time machine at home. So I can see the future. Here's what the rest of this week will look like:

Saturday
The crew of Dent de Lion will race in late and variable winds under partly cloudy skies to a mid-pack finish after several tactical errors and shifting wind directions. GVB will be crewing the good ship Parenthood with a crew of two.

GVB and Cap'n Ron will celebrate the repair of Allegro's diesel wind by emptying the icebox of anything with three initials on the lable (IPA and ESB come to mind).

The former Mrs. GVB will make snide comments about the relative ease of GVB's life. Examples: "Must be nice to be able to hang out on the boat all day", "I remember when I used to be invited to sail with you", etc.

Sunday
GVB will join Cap'n Ron for a nice easy 10 miler.

Later that day, GVB will give his first full pace swim workout of the season a try: 3 x 500 at race speed. Yikes.

Even later that day, GVB will crash massively while trying to grade the last of his students' ultra shitty mid term essays.

Monday
While at work, GVB will lose his patience with some of his "colleagues" and finally explode. It won't be pretty.

After work, GVB will run a nice easy 8 mile loop somewhere near The Castle, where he will later crash massively while trying to grade the essays he was supposed to grade on Sunday. Students will begin to ask where their essays are.

Tuesday
After listening to Paolo Nutini's "New Shoes" for the millionth time, GVB will finally replace the shoes he is pretty sure are responsible for the broken bone in his left foot. Then, buoyed by the new kicks, he won't be able to resist trying them out even though Tuesday is an off day.

Later, GVB will skip out on his planned weight lifting time. Slacker.

Wednesday
Nothing of note will happen on this day until GVB's kids invade the 305 once again. GVB will be conned into taking the kids to dinner once again, despite telling them that they would be eating at home.

Thursday
GVB and The Colleague will engage in their own odd version of co-parenting, followed by an evening of food prep for the coming weekend's Cinco de Mayo themed birthday beach bash for The Former Student's Current Boyfriend. Menu as yet undetermined.

Friday
GVB will endure yet another Department Meeting during which Sweater Girl will verbally abuse him and attempt to passively undermine his job performance, at which time GVB will calmly pack up his shit and leave the meeting with a smile and nice "Fuck You" to Sweater Girl and her partner in crime, Pear-Shaped Woman.

Once the meeting is over, GVB and The Colleague will fire up the A3 and head to the coast for a weekend of food, wine, and friends.

Cap'n Ron will be in full stress mode about the coming Marathon.

Saturday

Sunday
Cap'n Ron will lace 'em up and drop a 3:45 on the city of Vancouver, fueling his goal of qualifying for the Boston Marathon and ramping up his plan to train even harder for the Portland 'Thon in the fall. This goal will cancel the STP goal, which GVB will be secretly happy about.
