Yes...I went AWOL there for a couple of weeks. Things just totally got away from me as I just have not had the time to do the blog justice. I've got a ton of things to say, but I tend not to write about something if I can't spend the time to do it right. (This post and many others excepted).
So what's been going on since the last time I wrote?...if you care?!
Birthday - Left the magic 18-34 marketing demographic having turned 35.
Taxes - TurboTax made it easy, but it took me a week to get my wife's small business books in order. Next year I'm hiring an accountant.
Business trip - Traveled to San Diego for five days. Saw Scott Adams, of Dilbert fame, speak. I too made a presentation. Kicked ass...if I do say so myself...packed the room too...250 people.
Soccer practice - Both Jack and Claire started their soccer seasons. Two nights a week and Saturdays are now dedicated to practice and games.
Test road a bunch of road bikes - Dr. P wanted a road bike so I went with him to test ride at various LBSs. Perhaps he'll write about his selection. I've got a few thoughts about the process I may share as well.
J-Vicious is buying a new mountain bike - His Vicious Cycle got bent in a car accident. He finally got the insurance claim and is considering new bikes. It looks like he is going to buy a full-suspension frame and build it up with the parts from his Vicious and a singlespeed 29er.
Became a full-time bike commuter - I started commuting this winter, but more often than not caught a ride from one of my colleagues that lives nearby. Now that the weather is nice I've made the switch to biking full-time (of course there will be exceptions). Some things worth sharing here...stay tuned.
Phew...feels good to break the ice again. Look for some new stuff soon. Thanks for sticking with me.
