update from neanderthal boy

well, my face is swollen and my skin is nice and tight. looks like i got in a fight with a cheese grater, or orbital sander. a combo of elephant man and freddie krueger. it's nice to talk to guests down in the lobby with my face oozing. physically speaking, I otherwise just have a headache and my neck is sore. mentally, while the body can still pedal a bike, I am not ready to ride much, let alone race. I may be skipping out of the Copper local race, we'll see, it'd be the first time I missed that one in 4-5 years.
