wheels and wishes

It's been a bit too long since I threw something up for the masses to read about my life.

Well, I bought a new bike a couple weeks back. Done a few long rides so far, todays was about 13 miles. I'm planning on starting to ride to work at least a few days a week, and I want to start tomorrow, but I think that's going to depend on how bad the weather looks, as there's a possibility of rain. But with gas steadily climbing, and wanting to get into a bit better shape, a 12 mile one way ride to work sound like a pretty good way to do both.

I can't understand why Wii's still can't be kept on the shelves. I've been trying for 6 weeks to try and get one to no avail. Why six months after console release they can't produce them is completely beyond me. I'm glad its popular, but get with it Nintendo.

In much more fun news, Jess and I are going to Greece! After we stock up on some vacation time over the summer we're heading out for 2 weeks of ancient civilization goodness. Anyone with thoughts on where to go visit, I'm all ears.

And this weekend was great. Friday night Jess and I went up to Baraboo to hang out with Val and the long lost and now found Nate Anderson, who had secured a campsite up there for a few days. Had some drinks, played some guitar, sang loudly and somewhat off key, and then played Scattergories before heading home. Saturday morning spent some time at the farmers market downtown, then met up with Chris and Tori to enact an ingenious plan: they bought salsa at the market, we went to Frida's, sat outside (while some very loud mexican musicians played to the outdoor seating) ate the free chips with the great salsa and split a couple pitchers of margaritas. Nothing like being buzzed before noon on a Saturday.
