hello hello hello...is there anybody out there? just nod if you can hear me...

Once again a lapse in the time-space continuum ... But I'm back, and once again, may have to resort to bullet points until I get caught up. But first - please bear with me while I take a wee trip down memory lane. The year was 1999 - early winter - I had moved back to Canada from Austin, Tx after many years in the sun, and had left behind my trusty running companion Mady; a black and white border collie; she was a Southern Belle through and through, and needed to stay in the Texas sun... I found myself longing for a new running buddy, and started putting feelers out for dogs in need of new homes. My mother it seems, was also looking for a new friend to add to her herd, so between us, there were a lot of visits to local shelters and pounds, searching for the right fit. Then one day, my mother was reading the local paper when this happened... He instantly became a part of the family, no questions asked. Haggis "Duffy" MacDuff quickly became every one's favorite - swe...

It's not you...it's me...really....

If you've heard that one before, I apologize...but sometimes....;) Kidding aside, I have an announcement.

So, without further ado - here it is - my plan for early summer 2012 - holy sh$t...better get riding, as the letter of intent has been sent. http://tourdivide.org/ A few hours mountain climbing turns a rogue and a saint into two roughly equal creatures.

Reboot

Hello again. I see from the date of my last post that it has been a couple months of avoidance for me on the blog front. I have let slide the very thoughts that I had been enjoying documenting for the past few years - shit happens; we get busy; live goes ass over tea kettle, and then you find yourself right where you left off - head still full of thoughts, ideas and plans for future fantasticalness (yes, I said fantasticalness...) So, here I am, writing again. It has been an incredible couple of months since we last spoke - major highs and major lows, but what is life without that balance? August saw Leadville 100 happen (epic), followed by HAN (sooooo much fun that I don't recollect much of it :); then into September there was Paul's Dirty 100, the Epic 8 Hr., and a host of events that I may remember and reflect upon in the future. I have let so much time go past that my failing memory can only regurgitate so much, which is why I blog to begin with - I want the memories to be ...
