More excuses...

...or not. I got nothing. Here's what I've been up to the last month:

World Cup (okay so that ended before the last post - bugger off will ya!). It had its ups and downs, but not as climatic as previous World Cups. Maybe I'm jaded and my soccer days are becoming more and more distant. But I tend to think I know a good match and tourney when I see one. Did the U.S. qualify this year? Bye Bruce...ya done well for the program, but your time is up.

Mountain Biking. Getting about two good rides a week. Not like the hey days of spring. It's gettin' hot out herre! Hitting the usual spots at Loch - Seminary (when the air is as thick as butter) and Merryman's (when I feel like a 15+ miler).

I'm a Roadie too. Well, not as often as I'd like. I am riding the Wine Fest metric century so I need to put miles on my minty monster. My buddy just got his euro-trash badge (a carbon LOOK), so I better come prepared.

Commuting. By car...I suck. Not trying to excuse this, but I've been having one hell of a time waking up these days...which makes commuting 15 miles not so fun. Heat doesn't help matters in the morning when I am reaching for excuses. My belly however....

BrewHaus. The pilsner is bottle conditioning. Might unleash the first bottle or two this weekend. May be premature, but we'll get a better idea of where our brew is heading (other than mah belly).

Dragon Boat Racing. My company is sponsoring a boat at this year's Catholic Charities Dragon Boat race. This race pits corporations and organizations around the B-more area in some friendly boat racing competition. My first practice out I learned that I don't use my upper body as much as I should..ouch.

That and other worldly duties have kept me pretty busy. I'll try to post more frequently...no promises.

Bye now.
