Sweet… you know you’ve made it when you’re on a Pro Cycling Team trading card, wow… didn’t know they even existed?!?! If you look close you can see my ol’ coach Michael Engleman and the best hair on the team Scott Moninger, classic.

“There are fine things which you mean to do some day, under what you think will be more favorable circumstances. But the only time that is surely yours is the present, hence this is the time to speak the word of appreciation and sympathy, to do the generous deed, to forgive the fault of a thoughtless friend, to sacrifice self a little more for others. Today is the day in which to express your noblest qualities of mind and heart, to do at least one worthy thing which you have long postponed, and to use your God-given abilities for the enrichment of someone less fortunate. Today you can make your life - significant and worthwhile. The present is yours to do with as you will.” ~G. Kleiser

called ‘Drowning Boat- Amsterdam’ one of my late Uncle Patrick Keim’s favorite places to visit, made me think of him… he is truly missed. I get my laugh from him.

I feel like the boat.

Go Team OUCH!

I am beginning to get that lil’ burn to ride again, new team clothes are here so I hope to finally have my bike dialed in (though I would give anything for a new one) someday…

I really think you need to give me a break, enough with the ‘tests’ already. What have I done to deserve the negativity that keeps filtering into my overworked, sleep deprived, obstacle infused life? Yes, I am trying to focus on the positives, stay strong, keep on truckin’ but I’m beginning to break. Small parts of my will and courage are being broken off bit by bit, I can’t handle anymore. So, Life will you please give me a chance for some positive energy to flow into my body… for some happy moments I can live off for at least a couple of weeks to help me through these darker days? I’m not asking for much, just back off a lil’ if you get my drift. Thanks.
