So I have been very super busy lately, if you haven't noticed. I haven't written a blog in over two weeks. I did tell you that this blog would be published sporadically, though.
I took 10 days of vacation where I rafted the Middle Fork of the American River, played paintball (kicked ass at paintball was more like it), waxed philosophical, tried to wax political, was inducted into a local Placerville bar book club, took the kids to Disneyland, surfed for three days while the family was at The Carlsbad Inn right on the beach in Carlsbad, CA and generally chilled out.
It was a heavenly, hectic rush of excitement and an exhausting endorphin filled few days.
So, the picture above is my rant. So, I use my wife's bike to make my weekly paper delivery. In the process I save gas, I save money by not using my car and I fit in a one hour bike workout. The down side is that I get a lot of smirks and jesting from the people that pass me. So what ... I am riding a woman's beach cruiser with a basket and a baby carrier. Big deal. It is perfect for holding the papers. So to all you haters out there laughing at those who aren't "cool" or don't fit in, I say screw you. And to all you women out there - I know this makes me hard to resist - but SORRY, I'm taken!
Now if everyone would just inflate their tires to the proper air pressure ...
Till another day ...

My friend Ed is running the Ironman with me and is raising money for a local charity called the Tempe Community Action Agency. If you can help in anyway, that would be awesome. Here is the link:
