Where have all the good times gone

So we are well into the “New Year” and where has my training gone……..In the crapper is where it has gone. For all of my posturing last season about how I was going to get a leg up on this season, I feel like I have done all of nil to prepare for it. Forget about all of the two hour night rides, I still feel like a looser for not doing the tons of base and wicked fast group rides that it seems everyone else is doing. I will have to say that my guitar playing showed some improvement though, at least for a short while.
So what have I accomplished? I demolished and rebuilt a few walls and framed in for a garage door on herself’s garage in anticipation of “the move”. Speaking of which I have been informed that if I don’t make some kind of announcement I may get flogged so here goes.

I am engaged to be married to my darling and betrothed'!!! …aka Herself, aka Slave Driver, Boss Lady, et. al……(Sorry Stu but I could not help but steal that one…….Imitation and flattery and all that jazz)

Back on topic: So after my brief stint as a carpenter I came down with the flu…Joy!
And I have been surly and sedentary ever since. But with the spring series and my eminent public humiliation on the horizon, the time is now to get off my drunken ass and “Get to it” as Aunt Bee would say.

See yah
