i just kick it from my head

This past week has been a great one.  Miriam was in town for the whole week and left this morning.  The week was filled with hanging out with friends, eating good food, doing very little work, not paying attention well in class and other various good things.  Tough to see her go this morning but good knowing it's only a little over two months to the wedding and then all this visiting malarky will be over.

Went on a group ride with my Hebrew prof and other students on Wednesday and it was great.  The last time I went riding with more than one other person was with some guys from the bike shop in the town where Hobart was and there were not the most courteous of all people riding off and not chatting much with those of us who were a bit slower.  This ride Wednesday was quite the opposite.  It was filled with conversation and some friendly "racing" at times.  I was a bit nervous going into since I ride singlespeed now but I kept up just fine.  Rode Thursday morning as well and had one of my first just jersey and shorts rides in quite some time.  Rode this morning before thunderstorms started being heard on the horizon, got sun showered on a bit but nothing too major.  Can't wait for the sweet tans lines to start working their way in.

On Sunday I picked up a garbage bag full of early 90's cycling apparel for $20 and it was a steal.  I got 7 or 8 pairs of shorts out of it, 4 or 5 jerseys, and a winter cycling jacket.  Plus I picked up an old 7-Eleven pro-team jersey which I am going to throw up on Ebay to see if I can get some bank for it.

2 weeks of class left.  1 week of studying.  4 days of finals.  Done.  PTL.
