Joe Martin goodness. I promised much, now I must deliver:

I do realize there has been a supreme lack of updates... They are coming.

lots of things to update about and post. i have been living life in the fast lane/slow lane. however you prefer to look at it, as i'm not sure working 17 days in a row bodes well for my sanity.

i may have had the best day ever yesterday.

i got to go to work (not the most ideal thing, but we all know i like to work!), and not screw it up.
i got to ride with erik and theta (it rained for 10 minutes and I got a flat, but it was great).
i got to have dinner at theta and watch '08 men's race tape (good food and good company and good racin).
i got to go back home and found out that hazel procured all of the race footage/highlights from the Delta Chi dynasty back in the 70s/80s and so we watched all that.
i got to talk to my faja.

i think it was a winning day.
and today will be even better.

work till 2:30;
team pursuit at the track the rest of the evening!

low-res highlights from the Marian crit last weekend:
