Something about me.

Tights: With or Without Chamois?

Last night, as I was dressing up to go out riding, I tossed on a pair of shorts and my PI AmFIB tights.  They have no chamois, so they need to be wore over something that does have a chamois.  And, I realized how odd that felt, because I had gotten very used to having [...]

Six Random Things

I’ve been watching the “Six Random Things” meme drift around the blogsphere, and Marty finally tagged me and drug me into the fray.  So, here we go.  Six Ramdon Things about me that most people don’t know (and probably don’t care)

I’ve been involved in computers for more then 30 years now.  [...]

Nerdy Updates

Couple of cool propellor head type things I’ve found and played with in the 24 hours.

I’ve been looking for a way to intergrate some of the my OTHER blog like outposts on Internet into this blog.  Things like Twitter, Facebook, Flick, etc.  While looking for individual tools for each of those external feeds, I ran [...]

Rowing with the Punches

So, I dared Marty, and she called my bluff.

I’ve been wanting to get a Concept2 Erg for quite a number of years.  They seemed like a well built exercise machine that could actually get used.  Does one thing, provides a decent full body workout (or pretty close to it) and does what it does very [...]

productive weekend

Originally, my son was supposed to come over this weekend, but I found out at the last minute he wasn’t going to be coming over, as he was gone all weekend on a scout trip.  We had planned to get a bunch of work done around the house, so now our schedules were clear to [...]

Iceman 2008

For me, Iceman was something I was looking forward to for two reason.  First, it’s Iceman!  A great weekend of run racing, and hanging out with friends and drinking.  But also, for me, it was the last event in a stretch of fall that was constant events or traveling.  From mid-September to early November, we [...]

Passive Memorial

OK, which is worse?  The crappy road side memorials that crop up along the side of the road, and then proceed to rot while we all watch, or the dirt mall vinyl memorial stickers to decorate the back window of your car?

Both of them seem to be a form of passive memorial of a person [...]

what a feaking week

I’m not going to be upset to see this week end.  I mean, it’s hard enough to get back to work after a two week vacation, but it to have it be one of ‘those’ week is just not cool.

I’ve had a project at work that has been under a deadline, but have been unable [...]

Time to Move Forward

jumping back into life

Well, it’s over.

The last few months have been a blur of activity, as each time we successfully completed an event in our lives, it lead it immediate planning and stress for the next event.  Between Addison Oaks Race, Interbike, Massive Fallout, Chapter Meeting and Amsterdam, the last two months have been a repeating pattern of [...]
