Just Checking In

My last post was a long time ago. Sometimes you run out of things to say, get bored, no time for it, any number of things. All of these things apply to me. Mostly, I just didn't feel like it.

2007 has not been a red letter year for me. It started out with extended illness, extended lousy weather and, an extended sense of personal stagnation.

I've haven't ridden even 10% of the miles I've ridden in the past few years. One reason for that is I quit at TiCycles. That was due to the personal stagnation thing. I just didn't want to face another summer at the shop. I seem to burn out on retail in about 5 year intervals. Right now I'm looking at a few different jobs. Had an interview Friday, now I get to sit on my hands and wait.

Good stuff has happened this year. We got a dog, finally. A beautiful little Australian Shepherd we named Scout. Very smart, very affectionate. Thursday 8/23 she was hit by a car and now has her left front leg in a cast. I tore a calf muscle chasing her. Nice double whammy there.

Really good stuff: Larry Craig resigns, Alberto Gonzales resigns. Does more need to be said about this? I'm sick of hearing about Craig already. He's gone, that's enough for me.

I'll try to write more. I've missed it.
