Slacker!
Yeah, I've been a slacker about updating my blog. I blame work, travel, general malaise, and sunspots.
Race
Race on Sunday went well. I finished in 2:57, which is slower than I thought I would do, but the altitude really took a toll on me. A more detailed race report is here.
I got pictures back from the race as well, so thanks to my slacking, I can post those now. Click the image below for the whole set!
Work
First week without my best programmer. So that means lots more work to go around. Nothing unmanageable, just that I get to do less Director-type work, and more Programmer-type work. Well, not really, I still have just as much work, just more of it now. Hopefully we'll fill the vacancy soon, and normalcy ( as close as we ever got to it anyway ) will return.
Life
Soo..... Life is good. This week had an interesting twist. I had a very enjoyable dinner on Tuesday. Got a chance to meet Francesca in person, I had a really fun time. It sucks that she lives in Seattle though ( or maybe it sucks that I live in Chicago, I'm not sure which ). She even got me some crack in a bottle for my birthday! ;)
Fall
Has definitely arrived. A little over a week ago, it was in the upper 70's. Today's high was in the 50's, and the low is going to be in the low 30's/upper 20's! WTF?! I guess I'll need to pickup some arm warmers and leg warmers so I can keep riding while it's not snowing. Heck, I've got a mtn bike, I can ride in the snow. Just look at what this guy has done.
Okay, that's all for now. I promise I'll post more frequently. Please don't beat me. :)

Well, Mt. St. Helens certainly is "rocking" right now. :)
Let's see, Tornado vs. Volcano and Earthquake. Seattle definitely has cooler natural disasters!
Okay, I'll go with that. It sucks that I'm not in Seattle.

Moving to Seattle is better than getting one of those oxygen chamber/tents. We can all prepare for altitude by hiking/biking at Rainier! That's a dormant volcano, so no problems. :)

Chicago is in my top 3 U.S. cities, along with San Francisco and New York. But I have to agree with the Seattle-ites: the West is the Best!
