My new job is ok as far as cube farms go. The management seems to treat us like adults and everyone I have met so far has been pretty cool and friendly. That is the problem. When it comes to mens room etiquette I am a big beliver in The Code. At the urinal its eyes forward and no talking EVER. It’s The Code fer Christ’s sake. Am I the only one who knows this? At my work it would seem so. Almost without fail someone will engage me in some inane conversation about the weather, the Jazz… SHUT UP! Follow The Code!

Hola amigos… Yeah I have been underground. Funny the way things work out. Things you said you would never do again get done. People you thought you could could count on you can’t, while others step up and take on more than you would ever dare ask. Ebb flow… It would be nice if you could will things to happen the way you want, but the reality is sometimes you can’t no matter how bad you want to. Anyway I have some much needed clarity and I think I am on track. Whatever that means.

The blog. I hope to keep writing, I hope people keep reading. Thank you to everyone who reads and thank you to everyone who comments.

Got the new Scalpel on Friday. Spent the weekend dialing in my position and riding on pavement while the rest of the lads were hogging all the podium spots in St. George. I am stoked to race in the dirt this year. Pro or Master? Hmmm…
