Long Time No Post

It has been a long time since I last posted anything out here. I have not had a lot to say. Well, I may have had a lot to say, but not anything that I would classify as positive. In the immortal words of Thumper's mother in "Bambi"; "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all."

I was really suffering from as one of my friends says; "Stinkin Thinkin!" I am one that needs a goal, but I honestly cannot come up with one that sparks me. TNT was awesome for me in the fact that for the first three years, I had a new thing to chase after. I am so grateful for that! I am still really struggling to find a new goal.

I was going to take this year off from TNT as I did not want my poor attitude to impact it and it's awesome mission. I just heard that they are going to have a local bike ride for the fall season. Normally I participate in the Summer season so you get the dreaded spin sessions in a dark chamber as you wait for nice weather and riding outside. But the Fall season is outside from the get go.

The local ride is not really all that local, but expenses are reduced a bit. The ride is the Door County Century. I first heard about this from my friend Coach Bob. There are no mountains to climb. The altitude will be what I am used to breathing in. I have not totally resigned myself to doing this yet, but I got that weird little buzz in the back of my brain saying "go for it ya big oaf!" It has been one of the rides that comes up on my radar year after year that I have a curiosity about. It's nice to have that buzz bouncing around in my brain pan again.

Glad to be back and hopefully I will find some more stuff to post about.
