I'm trying again

I've tried several blogs over the years, and I'm pathetically bad about writing in them. I haven't posted to other blog for about a year. :-) But I've been inspired by my friend Al, who posts to his on a regular basis. I never get tired of reading his blog. And, although his life is much more exciting than mine, maybe someone (like my family) might like to hear what's going on in my life, boring as it is.

The past couple of months have been completely nuts, and life is just now settling back to normal. My mom was critically ill; she came so close to dying that it's almost a miracle that she lived through it. It's a long story, which I won't post here, but I just want to let my friends who've repeatedly ask about how mom is doing know that she's doing fine. She's still very weak and will be for some time to come, but she's getting better every day. She's one tough lady. People half her age probably couldn't have lived through what she did. I'm really proud of her.

It's 80 degrees here today. I got out on my bike to run a lunch-time errand, which was better than nothing. I miss not being able to commute to work now that I work at home all the time. But I guess it doesn't make much sense to ride from the garage to the bedroom. :-) Now that I'm back home (after spending a lot of time away from home while mom was in the hospital) I'm really anxious to get out and do some riding. Last weekend we had a nice ride with a new friend from my Kawasaki forum and a couple we ride with regularly (Tom and Kathy). It's nice to be able to get up into the moutains now that winter is over. We're lucky to live within a couple of minutes of the foothills. We have some fabulous rides right at our doorstep.

Alan has been out of town on business for the past three weeks, and he has to go back again. I hadn't seen him for three weeks when I got home from staying with my parents, and he had to leave two days later for the first of his weekly trips. I've seen him on weekends, but that's about it. But he doesn't usually travel this often, so after this last week, I think he'll be home for quite a long time. I'd like to take a few overnight weekend trips on the bikes now that the weather is good. Our favorite overnight trip is to go up the Big Thompson River canyon to Rocky Mountain National Park and over Trail Ridge Road to Steamboat Springs, but Trail Ridge won't be open for another couple of months, most likely.

That's it for today. I wonder how long it will take me to post again... I'm so incredibly lazy.

For a lazy person you already created 9 post within about two and a half weeks. I'm only on a average of about one post a week.

Noticed that you already got your first spam comment too.
