He bikes 10 miles each way into work, and usually gets to class school by 7:30 in time to clean-up and change for his 8am class.  This morning, though, he was running late.  We&#8217;ve had one experiene, though, where he arrived at school, to find that he didn&#8217;t have pants.  I got a frantic call to come quick, and I arrived with 5 minutes to spare so he was able to teach fully-clothed and on time.  Now, he makes sure he has pants with him or a pair in his office.  <\/p>\n<p>This morning, he intentionally remembered that he&#8217;d left a pair of dress pants last friday in his office, so he didn&#8217;t need to take any.  He left home a bit late and arrived at school at 8:00.  While in the elevator, he startlingly realized he didn&#8217;t have keys to his office and the secretary &#8211; with the only other key to his office &#8211; doesn&#8217;t start her day until 8:30.  He got off the elevator in full spandex bike clothes to find his 3 students waiting for him.  He apologized for being late, and said, &#8220;It gets worse&#8230; I don&#8217;t have keys to my office, so I&#8217;m going to have to teach like this.&#8221;  <\/p>\n<p>Brian&#8217;s learned 2 lessons&#8230; leave earlier and double check both pants and keys:)  I&#8217;m sure it was a memorable day for both Brian and his students.  To top it all off, he&#8217;s overdue for a haircut, and so he had major bike helmet head with his hair all sticking up from the wind and helmet.  What a day&#8230;  I personally think it probably endeared his students to him even more:)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let me tell you about Brian&#8217;s unforgettable morning.
