I know, I know..
I KEEP saying I'm going to load pictures and post more frequently.... and then I don't. What can I say? Life gets away from me, I'm out building memories instead of documenting it all. Anyway...
I have been trying to get out and riding as much as I can before snow flies... but I heard on the forecast during my drive home that we might see some flurries Tuesday! Ack! I have to bring my bike into the shop for it's first service.... that I am already 300 miles over (oops!).
I went out for a ride this weekend with some guys I've met thru a local web forum, which was great. The ride took us thru some interesting (and a couple scary) switchbacks, some great sweeps, and some really excellent views! It was a great ride, a little chilly but I was so layered that I think had I fallen over I wouldn't have been able to get up. (Ok I admit that might be exaggerated a little)
I have been knitting, although still no pictures to prove it. I've finished two of the "Fake Isle" hats that are intended to be Christmas gifts. I am working on some mindless dish clothes now, and then back to a cabled scarf from some Baby Alpaca. Angelic Wife gave me some of her knitting books a couple weeks ago and talked about some felted bags that she had loved but never got around to making, so I'm thinking that may force me to try felting.
Family wise, I was spoiled and got to spend the day with Anna, my niece. I loved it, she's such a riot, and man oh man did my brother luck out with such an easy funny girl! I loved seeing her, we got to play outside, we went to the mall, we had lunch it was awesome. I can't wait to see her again, I'm going to have to beg my brother & Angelic Wife to get a life so I can watch Anna more :-)
I haven't seen the newest baby since I she was born, but I'm told she is doing well. Hippy brother & wife update me regularly with an email and pictures so that's great. Once she gets into the more fun age (um, where she does more than sleep, eat, poop rinse and repeat) I'll be more excited to see her. Right now I think mom and dad are enjoying their time together.
Work is still insane, I am more willing to consider selling crack, you know, whatever to pay the bills but get me away from the corporate politics and away from my desk! Ce st La vie...
