Bad Omen

I had an appointment at Georgetown this afternoon, so I hopped on Wendell and off I went. First, I took a wrong turn somewhere just west of DuPont Circle. Ended up heading towards the Naval Observatory on Mass Ave.

Then, got onto Rock Creek Parkway, hit a bad pothole and blew my rear tire. Fuuuuck. I had to then walk with my bike along Rock Creek, up P St., then all the way down to a bike shop on M St. and 33rd. In the sticky heat. Fuck my life.

If I were a superstitious lad, I might think this is some sort of bad omen for my academic career at Georgetown; that maybe I should just quit while I'm ahead...

Lucky that I'm not a superstitious lad, I guess.
