Well, it’s been a while, to put it mildly. I wasn’t even sure if I would return to this site, to be honest. I’m going to give it another try…

Where to start? Well, the triathlon has come and gone. It was really fun. Sister came in from DC to participate and we both finished. I clocked in around 2:50, which I was pretty happy about–47 in my age group and 314 overall (out of over 1000). Not too shabby for these old bones, heh.

Unfortunately, I seem to have hurt mysefl in the process. I have two small meniscal tears in my left knew, which has prevented what would surely be a most amazing snowboard season. I’ve been to the doctor and after a CAT scan, he thinks a simple surgical proceedure will do the trick. I’m not so excited at the prospect of getting surgery, especially since my friend Alissa had the surgery and regretted having it. So, I got a cortizone shot and am trying accupuncture out. I’ll comment more on that after a few more sessions.

Other stuff–saw Arctic Monkeys last week at Great American. They were actually pretty good, despite the crazy hype mobile they have been slapped upon. The main singer/guitarist dude is quite talented and has already mastered the art of looking bored.

I’ll come back with more, including pics and stuff…  Promise. Really just wanted to get that first post back in there to knock the rust off.

Ciao
