This last month has been a whirlwind of awesomeness. I chalk it up to having good friends. It's nice to have a little bit of a break for now though because I think the later half of December is going to be another wild ride.

Unfortunately I've been having so much fun that I've been neglecting certain things. I need to get my finances back into ship shape first off. And I could probably spend a little more time sharpening the saw with my technical skills and focusing on more intellectual pursuits.

On the plus side, I've been hitting the YMCA pretty frequently and have been packing lunches and eating dinners at home a lot more than usual (thanks mainly to Chelsea), so that's a win.

Richard signed his motorbike into my name last night so I'm now the proud new owner of a Kawasaki KLR650. This is the first vehicle I've ever owned! The excitement really just hit me today after flipping through the owner's manual. I have to wait until Spring though to ride it. And I still need to get my license...
