Today was an odd day for me, and one that I knew would be odd from the start. In preparation for it, I did my daily ride during the early morning hours so that I’d have a solid “meeting” under my belt before heading into the unknown. Today I met with “N,” and it’s the first time that I’ve seen her, or spoken to her in eight months. I find it amazing that two people, who were so entwined for over a decade, can just go their separate ways as we've done. I’m not going to go into any details here, but it was a very surreal meeting for me, but hopefully it was worthwhile for both of us to understand where we are in our lives today.At a minimum I wanted reach the summit of Mount Tamalpais before turning back towards home today. I needed to cram in my ride this morning so that I could get back to the Depot in Mill Valley for my 1:00 pm meeting with "N." I did an out and back to the East Peak parking lot of Mount Tamalpais, and once there I rode around briefly in order to take in the views, and also the new construction projects. It was a beautiful spring-like day, and that made me really happy.
On my way back down, via the same way that I’d ascended, I paused at a prime viewing location in order to check out the enormous swells in the Pacific Ocean. I'd heard about the tragedies at the Maverick’s surf competition this morning, and now I was able to see very clearly, and from miles away, the huge size of the waves that have caused all of the wreckage. Wow(!), comes to mind for me. These waves were over forty feet high, and ended up sending many to the hospital.
