welcome to the new.

anyways, it's been quite the interesting time lately. working pretty dang hard at work for the last few months (overtime pay lends a sweet, juicy flavor to the common every-man job) getting the new toyota 2001 site ready. and that's pretty much all i can really say about work. it's there. i've been there a whole crapload of time lately. i'm not there now. such is life.

trying to prepare for the big ride this weekend. bunch of my co-workers and i are heading down to mexico for the semi-annual 50 mile bike ride from rosarito to ensenada. yeah, 50 miles. longest i've gone is 27, and that was on a new, very much uncomfortable brand-new seat. (all the stores call them 'saddles,' but i have always called them, and will continue to call them, "seats". bikes have seats. horses have saddles. my bike is not a horse. horses smell.) i returned the seat. the new one is much nicer, thank you.

(hi mom.)

besides that, i'm teasing the idea of training for upcoming marathon. we'll have to see. after starting to race downhill mountain biking this year, i discovered that i enjoyed being within that 'competitive' crowd. even though i didn't do well, just to be a part of it is pretty stinkin' cool. i'm looking into triathalons, adventure races and cross-country cycling races as well.

off to bed i go. visions of my seemingly-becoming-an-annual-event trip to maui this christmas in tow....
