Hiya!!!



No I am not dead, yet. No I am not abandoning the blogging either. And no I am not wallowing in sorrow over a lousy football game. And all this new blogger crap is driving me nuts. I was perfectly content with what I had. Well I'm trying not to be assimilated, but I'll bet resistance is futile. When I mentioned the thought of discontinuing to blog, it was not the whim of a madman. Rather I foresaw the lack of time and resources to put into a quality blog. I can blog from work, but big brother is watching. I would have to limit my posts on bike porn. I have not settled into a regular work routine, and I probably never will. On the flip side, I can eventually settle into a workout and training routine; and I am trying to do that. A new laptop is budgeted and an order will be placed this week. I try to celebrate new year's more than once too, so I am just warning everyone that I intend to take some time away from blogland until maybe a week after the Chinese new year. Let's let the dust clear. But you know this stuff is addicting, and I'm hooked. So maybe...

But...I do have some immediate news to share that offers preliminary excitement. I took a full day away from work on Monday. It really wasn't vacation because I had to see a number of medical professionals.

News from the cardiologist: you competed in an Ironman. I even looked you up on the website; I don't think I need to test you anymore. See me or another doc maybe once a year.

News from the physical therapist: ankle is stable and strong. It is still stiff with scar tissue from October. If you can tolerate the pain, work through it. Fire up the running.

MMMmm...Do I smell...Bacon....

Anyways, when considering whether or not to move out of my corner of blogland, I often wondered if people came to my corner because of the subjects that I wrote about. But I think there are enough people who stop here regardless of what I write about. Or maybe I've just got delusions of granduer. So I have a few posts that are snapshots of the last few weeks of my world. The posts are in the works but I fear I will only have time to finish one or two of them before they are no longer fresh and before I take my hiatus. So people, rock the vote and Choose your own Adventure:

1 - To read about The Scioto & Olentangy, RPAC, and Graeter's, reply in the comments with: I'm an Ohio-phile; tell me more!!!

2 - To read about tandem & ovoids, EDW, and ultrasound probes, reply in the comments with: I'm a science geek; tell me more!!!

3 - To read about spandex & technical tees, S/M/L, and shopping, reply in the comments with: I'm a tri-geek; tell me more!!!

I might have to go with #3,
Tri-geeks unite.

Glad to hear the docs have gone away and are going to leave you alone now.

Stay healthy, oh, By the way. How about those gators (I grew up in Fla.) and Chicago Bears..

It's all about the tri-geeks dude! And congrats on the fabulous reports from the docs! YAY!!!! I hope my good news is right behind.

We'll miss you if you stop blogging, that's for sure. But we ultimately want you to be happy so do what you need to do.

#3 Please!

Glad to hear you're doing better!

I don't know what's more exciting. The fact that your heart is fine or the fact that even your doc is reading your blog :D.

I only come here b/c of the word bacon....hmmm........droolz..

Put me with the tri-geeks where I belong. Now, if you were going to present something on Fermat's theorem for the math geeks... : )

Glad to hear you got the clean bill of health! Sueeeeyyy!

#3 for sure...but the Olentagy brings back memories of canoeing....(Does this mean I am an Ohio geek?)
Hey, I saw some of your pix posted on Eddie's Bike site! I think it was from a few years ago!

I just noticed that you link to "Frazz" on your blog. I love Frazz! I thought I was the only one. From now on, even if your most recent post sucks, Frazz will make a visit worth it.
