Tis the Season

for drinking, eating and general goof-ofedness and very little riding so why fight it?  The only good thing (other than stroking my ego) about maintaining a blog is you can look back at past years and see what was happening during a given time period.  If I were to look back at the last several years I would see that I freaked out each year about not riding much in November and December only to have the new year start well and a successful race season happen.  With that in mind, I'm going to sit back, relax (as in work my ass off at work and to get the house finished) and see what happens.  I'll ride when I can, run daily and try not to turn into a roly poly christmas turkey until things turn around.

The above picture?  That's me and my bud Kevin during my company's annual Christmas party this past Saturday night.  100+ attendees, lots of beers and the need for spicing things up had me out there doing the Elaine to stir things up.  It worked and I was just drunk enough (ok, totally drunk enough) to not really care that I was making an ass of myself.  Surely, some less flattering pictures will float to the surface this week and I'll be sure to post them when they are available.
