I’m sitting in my Dazbog office, where I do all my best thinking, tapping along on my Powerbook. It’s especially fun to hang out in coffee shops when you have a cool Mac.
My new media/social networking/plan for world domination journey continues to carry me along. I’m three years behind the curve and trying to catch up in three weeks. I’m devouring everything I can find. And my head is spinning.
The (information) omnivore’s dilemma: it’s hard to stop exploring and start putting things together. The overwhelm can easily go from exhilarating to discouraging.
Looking forward to a different kind of spinning this weekend; Carol and I are biking up to Estes Park Saturday, via Glen Haven (yes, the dreaded switchbacks). We’ll come back Sunday. We’ve got a room in EP, with a jacuzzi (thank god). I’m looking forward to it; it will be an adventure. In pain. But Ride the Rockies is looming ever larger, and even though yesterday I turned 700 miles in my training (since March), that 93-mile day from Montrose to Crested Butte is visiting me in my dreams.

Estes Park!!!! Have you checked your maps?? It’s all up hill all the way!! It’s beyond me why anyone would bike up hill when they have a perfectly good car — sort of like jumping out of a perfectly good airplane!

You know, I always used to look at those cyclists tooling around Horsetooth, or going up to Estes, and think, WHAT is the MATTER with you?!?! And now I’m one of them.
Of course, coming back on Sunday … it will be DOWNhill all the way!
