Lots has happened since my last post back in June, Here are a few of my thoughts/stories since then.

- My very lovely wife and I just finished watching the movie Julie and Julia we got from the Red Box tonight. Its a true story of a blogger, and made me realize that my commitment to this blog thus far has been... well... horrible. So here is my attempt to slowly and steadily, blog a bit more.

- If you are wondering, I am still training for my Ironman. It's now less than two weeks away, and I am very ready for race day. I'm ready to be engulfed in the Ironman environment, I'm ready to cross that finish line, and I'm ready to give my body a break from pounding the pavement and three hour bike rides.

- As I'm sitting here writing this post, I'm watching my wife prepare the necessary ingredients to make homemade caramel rolls to breakfast tomorrow after our morning bike ride. She loves to cook.

- I'm finally getting used to my new Palm Pre. Other than the crap ass battery it came with, I like it. My favorite thing about the phone is my Pandora Radio App. I listen to it all the time, and I have been exposed to some really great musicians. I'm listening to Adam Rafferty radio right now, he is an acoustic guitar player, and can really pick the 6 string.

- Last night, we went to a beautiful wedding at a winery in Nebraska. We came home to Paula's family farm, and found that our puppy had gotten out of his kennel, and went through every trash can in the house. He loves to eat, and will eat anything. Needless to say, he must of ate lots of paper, because its been coming out all day long! haha. Max's girlfriend Ellie came over to play today, and he's really tired tonight. Been cashed out since 8pm. Poor little guy!

- La Vuelta a Espana is currently midway through its race. Coverage can be seen on NBC Universel Sports (which I sell commercials to) but I cannot see any of my commercials because Direct TV doesn't carry the channel. Can anybody fill me in as to who is leading the race?

- I have a brand new pair of Easton EA90 SLX Wheels sitting in my house, begging me to put them onto my bike. If only I had the right hub...

- I have decided this weekend after my 56 mile bike ride, that my custom bike I would like to get this spring will be a road bike, not a TT bike. Being I have changed my mind on this over 100 times (no joke) I will see how long this decision sticks.

- I'm not ready for Fall, and even less ready for Winter. We walked our puppy tonight, and I had to put on a sweatshirt for the 2nd time already in September. This summer, I have really embraced the heat and humidity. I'm pretty certain that last winter killed any good vibe I once had with snow. I wanna move to Arizona for the winter!

- My Minnesota Twins are still in first, and the gosh damn Vikings are primed to have the most disappointing season in NFL history. I love it!

Its almost 1 am here, and i wanna get in bed. Here's to my first blog post in several months, CHEERS!
