What Drags Me Out of the Office This Afternoon

No, no, no, it is not the fact that I forgot both the iPod and the flash drive that hold all of my course-related files now that my laptop is in the shop. Nor is it that I've lost the grand collection of notes that I took back in May about my great ideas for my seminar class. Blackboard is up, so in theory I could work on putting my course site back together.

Nope, none of those. The Topologist bought a new bike. It wouldn't fit in his car, so he left his car at the bike store and rode home. Now I have to give him a ride to go pick up his car.
