Sorry all, I suck at updating this. The problem is, unless you want to hear about cycling or work, I really don’t have much to say – I’m boring.

So weather people on TV in this town are bad. I know the weather is hard, but when you have thousands of dollars in computers that create these elaborate data sets used to predict the weather, I would think you can do a little better than this… This is a weather timeline of the last 12 hours:

-6pm: It’s become cloudy and colder

-615pm: Weather man says there is a “chance of flurries tonight with no accumulation expected.”

-630pm: Feels like it’s going to snow, no snow actually falling.

-845pm: Snow has fallen; SIX INCHES OF SNOW HAS FALLEN.

How can you blunder it that bad? I went out and drove to Denver last night, which, to their credit, it was not accumulating more than a half inch or so in Denver, but there was 6 inches on the roads at my house and driving was EXTREME. The road surface went from pavement, to water, to slush, to several inches of snow – yea, sketch.

Thanksgiving was ok. I worked which I don’t mind much and we actually stayed pretty busy all day which makes time fly. Throw that in with free Starbucks (at a different location no less) and free dinner it was a pretty good day.

I want to get a job on the orange helicopter, but I don’t have time right now, it’s a conundrum I’m dealing with.

I think I will join the team for a social bike ride tomorrow morning.

Lindsay comes home today, but I’m working, so I’ll see her tomorrow, that’s good – said with a czeck accent for those of you who know…

Yep, that’s pretty much what’s going on, exciting stuff I know. Maybe I’ll have more in the next couple days…
