Where am I?

I'm over here most of the time now, or if you are looking for more of the adventures of Team Weak and Feeble then go here.


Thanks for checking in!

It's snowing!

So the snow is now falling and that gets me pretty psyched to hang up the bike (well not completely) and start thinking about skiing. Shawnee Peak will be opening soon and the XC terrain will be skiable with just a bit more snow.

The girls have already been out xc skiing on the fields behind our house and are anxious to get out more. They are both fired up to hit the big hill as well- so bring the season on!

Out for a hike with the fam

My youngest decided we needed more family time, so at 5pm on a cloudy late October night we piled into the truck and headed for Hawk Mountain in Waterford. This is a great hike as you get fantastic views for about a 25 minute walk that isn't all that strenuous. It was good to get out and we even beat darkness, just barely, but we never needed the flashlight on the way down.

Look at the action of the walk

From now until November

The political game is now in full swing, or course I think it's been in full swing for some time. Especially for those who live(d) in New Hampshire it's been a good solid year. I applaud Sarah Palin, she timed this right- she'll only have to endure a couple of months of campaigning and then either head back to Alaska or head to Washington. So who runs Alaska while she's on the road? It isn't as much of an issue for the Senators- they don't really need to be doing anything right now as it is!

Enough about politics as I know way to little to speak intelligently about them (although that doesn't stop 95% of the media out there!)

On a personal note, I've returned to my "roots"- I'm now working at Bridgton Academy, a great school that has a very specific purpose- take a look at the site if you are curious.

Other then that still riding, still being a dad and husband, and still thinking (or trying to).

We'll try to put up some interesting conversations in the near future.

Summer is almost here

it's warm, the bugs are out, the trails are dry- time to ride!

yup that's all I've got right now.

Oil Pricing

Is it just me or have we become numb to what is going on with oil pricing. A friend of mine who works in the oil business is very frustrated as he feels like people are throwing up their hands and just don't care any more. Yet the pricing he feels is being driven up by Oil futures traders, in other words people in our own country are responsible for killing us with these prices. Really bums me out- and I don't know what to do- other then ride my bike everywhere I can and really pay attention to energy use.

Argh.

But at least spring has sprung!

later.

Slacking

I'm not sure how so much time has gotten by me but it has. Winter is back, although as I write this we are expecting possible rain showers tonight and tomorrow, but I don't think it will amount to much in terms of snow loss. It will make Meisters interesting tomorrow!

The Pat's are in the Super Bowl- so that will consume Sunday evening and then we are right into February which means it's time to really start mixing skiing and riding (bikes) to try and gain fitness heading into March and the cycling season. I've taken it very easy this January, so I know I've got some work ahead.

Time to go to work...
