Move Along, Nothing To See Here...

Oh yeah, the blog! Hit by a twinge of needless guilt (and looking for an excuse to avoid doing something more constructive), here I am, happily hunt'n'pecking away!

So I took an extra day off specifically to go riding. Yet here I sit, accruing lard and coming ever closer to surgically grafting the desk chair to my ass. Pathetic. I can't seem to get motivated to go out and ride on my own or set up a ride with friends apart from the announced club rides lately. If I'm to be honest with myself, I think it's because it's easier to blow the club rides off. If I make separate plans with riding buddies, then I'm obligated, and God forbid I let that happen! Maybe if every time I swung my leg over the top tube I wasn't treated like I was screwing the neighbor and disavowing my children... God, what I wouldn't give for just a little forbearance in that regard!

Bald Gaz has dropped off the face of the planet. Never posts up on the MORE boards anymore, doesn't update his blog (yeah, I'm one to talk - er, write), no reply to my last email. Whimper, whine. Mr. Pete's in hibernation too, doing his own thing and not coming out to play anymore, tho' he and the lovely Laura did come out to a recent dinner party put on by Babs, and joined us to see Borat the following week. At least Babs is still communicado, and Mo's actually made contact a little too!

Thanksgiving is traditionally a time to think of friends and family, and I'm no exception. Although I'm all but an Atheist, I'm thankful for the people in my life and I hope they're, if not thankful, at least not cursing the day they met me.

And so ends another aggregation of words from Drew.
