Before I came to the land of a great salty lake where the snow is falling and the daily activity consists of meetings and testing this and that… I was

Doing the usual activities I usually do… waking up, pressing the snooze button eight more times or actually it was more like 4 wishing it was 8, then realizing I have just enough time to ride the trainer before I have to sprint around the house gathering up lunch for work all while wondering where the car keys might be, then peeling (because I like the sound) out of the driveway to drive at mock speeds there, which is REI, and then coming home at less then mock speeds for an exciting night of hanging out…

But this isn’t what I do everyday, well except the exciting hanging out… I mean thank goodness I don’t have to work everyday, let me tell you. But, don’t get me wrong I like working at REI… anyways, other days I actually adventure into the outside where I travel around the streets on my bike

NEWER NEWS…

Well the above update was from about a week ago while I was in the land of the great big salty lake, often called Salt Lake City where Katharine, Carmen, Alison, a lot of Under 23 boys, and myself were elbowing each other for the five trainers or more often then not a seat in one of the three cars traveling to dinner.

Then I was off to one of my best friends weddings, Jill. It was a lot of fun, but let me tell you… My feet just recovered from my walking around in 11 foot heals all day. OK, maybe not 11, but surely 7. Oh, yes and while we were down there we (being Jen, Josh and I) camped in Joshua Tree before waking up at 3:30am to head northward…

Which means i am back in Bend doing my daily activities…  

However, in about a week or so I will be adventuring down to the Southern part of the World, Cali California for our ValueAct training team camp, then over the salty ocean to Auzzie land for racing, then back to Cali California for some state side racin’, and then over the other salty ocean to Euro land for more racing, but even better to see Phil.

So now for the best part…

 Katharine at camp in Salt Lake………………

 Jill in her wedding dress…………………………………….

 Jen and Josh getting there tent ready, while I just put the seats down in the car and slept in there….

 And the full moon right before dark……………

A bunch of pictures of Mattie, some new and some old…Oh yes, and I sould mention Mattie is my parents dog. We definately can’t have a dog traveling all over the globe…  

 and one of my favorite pictures of Italy last June

I still don’t have any new years resolutions, but I figure most people break them by the end of this month so if I wait till the end of it I might make it till next year without breaking it…

alright until next time,

Have fun having fun
