So...
I know that the last time I posted was in January. I apologize about this but I have been quite busy with trying to get into grad school and trying not to get blown off the back in every bike race I enter. In these endeavors I was mostly successful: I am pleased to announce that I will be moving to Maryland in a few months to begin grad school (yay) and I found my way to the middle of the pack by the end of the bike season (double yay).
Now that I have finished all that school stuff and the collegiate racing season is over, I can concentrate on what I have been describing as "my summer as a bum." A foreign concept to a work-a-holic such as myself, I have not experienced such a clear agenda since I was about fifteen years old. After about one week of bumming around, I can honestly say that I am afraid I might become addicted.
Speaking of addiction, much of my time has been devoted to catching up on a blog that one of my friends recently introduced to me: Bike Snob NYC (http://www.bikesnobnyc.blogspot.com/). The man's a genius, honestly, the stuff that he comes up with has kept me entertained for days. If you are a cyclist of any sort, I recommend checking it out.
As I sat around on my couch this morning, pleased to be drinking my coffee and enjoying my cinnamon toast crunch, I was interrupted by a strange melody floating through my window. Turns out one of my strange neighbors across the street has become even stranger and begun to play the accordion (!) on the second-floor deck overlooking a busy MPLS street. I could hardly believe this myself so I took a picture:
Yep, accordion. And on that bombshell... goodnight.
