...August 2006! I can't believe it. This time last year I was living it up on my honeymoon in Grand Marais. Hanging out with the Bennett's on their sailboat in Duluth! Running into Minnesota Black bears on highway 61 way up north near the boundary waters and the Canadian border---and learning how to mountain bike on Pin Cushion Mountain. What a lifetime ago that was!
Now I am living and working bicycle manufacturing in New England. And getting ready to experience the colors of fall in the Northeast. But not quite yet. It's still summer, though it sure has turned nice and less humid. We have early morning meetings every Wednesday and usually I head out on a ride afterwards...but everyone else did today and the office was too lean and so I stayed late and I am home now with the small hound, watching TV and enjoying the dusk ---which arrives much earlier than it did a couple of weeks ago. I'll get up early and ride anyway. Too tired right now.
Mike is out on a group ride, trying to get some "speed" in his legs. The race in the Berkshires was cancelled next weekend and so he's kinda bummed about that. Next on our list is the Chris Thater Memorial in Binghampton, NY... 5 hours away! Sigh. Planning for Vegas is a pain, but will hopefully be successful and get us closer to home in the not so distant future.
Mom had a little hiccup when her PICC line caused a blood clot of sorts in her wrist. Some pain medication later and she is feeling better, but the planned medical procedure got post-poned and while it was a disappointment, her spirits are good. Actually, it's her humor that's good. Her spirits need a little nudge sometimes, but not too often.
That's about it from the Northeast. I hope you are enjoying your evening!
