All day the thought of not being inside this set of bars has been on my mind. By this time two weeks from today I’ll know how things have gone and for better or worse I should be free of my halo. I hope for (and expect) better, not worse. The sensations I have from […]
the Next Chapter
I have a date and it’s July 3
Today was my first official checkup with the neuro trauma team @ Sunnybrook. I knew it would just be to see how things are progressing so I didn’t have big expectations on finding out what the timeline looks like. I left there feeling pleasantly surprised. And in some ways it’s not really surprising. Once we […]
A time of contrasts and contradictions
In some ways time is flying by, while dragging its heels in others. There’s no denying that the past couple of months have been a challenge and I know the challenge will continue a while longer. So far so good though, I’m still up to the challenge. May was busy on a professional level, quiet […]
A Hardware Upgrade
It’s been a while since I’ve updated the blog, the last entry is just before Andrea and I headed down to North Carolina. In addition to looking forward to having fun riding and getting caught up with some friends I was also intending to write up some product reviews. I still intend to write those […]
My View
Looking east toward downtown Toronto, getting to watch as plane take off and land. I’ve spent time in the area when the Midweek club was holding their criterium series on Tuesday nights (and while I was still racing). Now I’m seeing it as the folks who’ve worked up in that area (known as Creekside) have […]
Bike Show. And Back At IT.
I am constantly amazed at how life changes. My last post was about accepting a job similar to what I was doing before I retired. Between then and now I’ve become a corporation, covered a bike show, arranged to get my camper back on the road, finalized some details for a concert in June, dialed […]
Funding the future
I posted a photo of me in tie from a week or so ago… that was my first job interview in oh, about, say… 32 years? It’s the first job I submitted my resumé to. I did follow that up with submitting my resumé to one more position late last week. So…I heard today they […]
A different look
My “work clothes” have changed quite a bit in the past 2 years (yes, it has been almost that long) so it was a little odd to get back into a previous look yesterday. I did though. Here, you can see for yourself… a shot from earlier this month taken in Louisville KY and another […]
A weekend at Watkins
What a blast! It was great to have some time to get caught up with people I only get to see once or twice a year. And to talk about things I generally only mull over in my own mind. In this case it was all VW stuff, with a little photography thrown in. And […]
and still some residual IT geek in me.
I’ve been working to make sure my business systems meet my expectations (at least from an IT perspective) and I’ve been slowly making some improvements. The latest enhancements included getting some 3TB drives for local backups and a third NAS to do remote replication. The new drives are SATA III and my old dock didn’t […]
