Possibly the Last Post

...for a while. We'll see. I'm at work now, but the computer might be packed away, and the cable disconnected before I get to blog again. I'll blog when I get to my parent's house, and hopefully soon after that I'll be blogging again on my own computer in my own house.

Here's the game plan for the next couple weeks. I come home from work Wednesday morning, and then it's last minute packing rusing around craziness until Friday morning when I go back into work. 72 hours later I come home to a moving truck and we get out of Dodge. Monday night will be spent in Hermiston, OR. On Tuesday we'll be driving to Missoula, MT and hanging with Scotty Johnson. Wednesday we're driving to Medora, ND and meeting the soon-to-be-married Dr. Dingle for a night (and next morning) of debauchery. Then its on to Bismarck for his wedding. Saturday we'll drive from Bismarck to Grand Forks for some serous R&R. We're not sure how long we'll stay in GF, but then it's on to Madison for job/home search.

There it is. 35 hours and about 2400 miles. I can't wait.

Less Than 2 Weeks!

Hi again gang. You'd think I'd have a bunch of stuff to write about with the big move coming up, but I've got nothing. We've just slowly been packing up our stuff. The other day we picked our movers. It's some outfit from San Jose that quoted us $0.50/lb with a free month's storage. Not too shabby if you ask me.

Training has taken a back seat lately. I haven't been on the bike for over a week. It will be slim pickins until we get settled, I'm afraid. I'll have plenty of time on my hands then though. I've got a hell of a base established, so it won't be too hard to hone the fitness for cross season, so I'm not worried about it. Midwest cyclocrossers won't know what hit them.

I added a few new links. Madison.com is a local information and news site. Treehugger.com is an online magazine about environmental responsiblity and modern design and whatnot. There's some cool shit about biodiesel and plug-in hybrids and stuff. Isthmus is Madison's weekly alternative newspaper. There is info on food, concerts, art exhibits and stuff.

I'll leave you with a picture of the lighthouse that's 800 meters from our front door.

What do you guys think of this. It might actually be cheaper to go this route then to buy an existing house. I've been looking at these for years and think they're cool. Mary doesn't want neighbors, and we could throw one of these down on a nice wooded lot. There is a couple different models, a garage, and guest house. Check them out and let me know what you think.
