TGIF
Yo. At work, 5800′, it was swirling snow all day. At home, 4890′, it was raining. Blah. Time to get high; load up the bike, and drive up and out of town until rain turned to snow. Easily done. I love my singlespeed. Then I got to tromp around Safeway, soaked and shivering with muddy…

AM reading
But whether the children go to residential correctional facilities or not, they come back to the community eventually anyway, Mr. Richter said, and the program “helps parents learn how to supervise and manage their adolescents so that they act responsibly instead of engaging in dangerous behaviors.”Exactly. A constant battle in my profession is sending a…

Three days of changes
Change #1: I am not an ultra runner.But these guys are. Kyle Skaggs (L) and Anton Krupicka stepping up to get their trophies. It’s sad, but running a 100 miler may well be a life goal I never reach. I could have trained more dilligantly, and could have done a bit more to get my…

Moab!
Is never a dissapointment. Even when you DNF with a bum right knee (the same, fucking, knee). Fred kicked ass, ran the full meal deal in 7:08 with minimal training. Kyle Skaggs and Tony Krupicka smoked a new course record of 4:03. (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) A good time was had on a gorgeous day. Sunday we rode.…

Generation after generation, American workers were better educated, more industrious and more innovative than the ones that came before. That progress stopped about 30 years ago. The percentage of young Americans completing college has been…

Weight savings
Race season officially begins Saturday.Time to get serious. Yes, the weight of the bags has been zeroed out. New Rudy Project shades. Thanks Mom! Hoping the fancy detached lenses will help the fogging issues I often have running. Laying in the tub shaving is quite the decedant exercise. I like the contradiction of shaven legs,…

More geology
Cool stuff about the origin of the Grand Canyon. (In a power point file, beware.) I can’t really evaluate the validity of the particulars, but in general I find speculations about such things very illuminating. Plus caving in the ditch seems enthralling. Edit: Steve and I are getting psyched about the Grand View trail, investigation…

2-7
Beware the future.Seek beginnings. It is selfish, but that’s who I am: for me birthdays are the best of all holidays. What better thing to celebrate than one’s own existence, without which all else would be for naught? But how? R.A.T.S. The only thing better than a good, all-day ride is like-minded and able people…
