2005-04-26: I haven't updated my news in a while so here is the short version. The weather in Washington is getting better now which my wife and I are very happy about. It also helps my training for the Get Your Guts in Gear bike ride in early June. It is a 210 mile, 3 day ride from NYC to Saratoga Springs, NY. I am raising money to support research into Crohn's and Colitis. I will be riding with my Uncle (our second ride together) who has Crohn's disease. Right now, most of my training is in commuting to work. A great way to see the city! Otherwise, the winter was very enjoyable with lots of skiing opportunities in the area! Katie bought skis and we hit the slopes 4 times, a new record for us. We are beginning the process of looking for a condo/townhouse/house to purchase. Wish us luck!
That's all for now. Brian. |

2004-11-03: On day's like this one, I like to think about one of my favorite songs:
Soak Up the Sun -Sheryl Crow
C'mon, C'mon Album - 2002
My friend the communist
Holds meetings in his RV
I can't afford his gas
So I'm stuck here watching TV
I don't have digital
I don't have diddly squat
It's not having what you want
It's wanting what you've got
CHORUS:
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Gonna tell everyone
To lighten up (I'm gonna tell 'em that)
I've got no one to blame
For every time I feel lame
I'm looking up o I'm gonna soak up the sun
I'm gonna soak up the sun
I've got a crummy job
It don't pay near enough
To buy the things it takes
To win me some of your love
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
CHORUS
I'm gonna soak up the sun
While it's still free
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Before it goes out on me
Don't have no master suite
I'm still the king of me
You have a fancy ride, but baby
I'm the one who has the key
Every time I turn around
I'm looking up, you're looking down
Maybe something's wrong with you
That makes you act the way you do
Maybe I am crazy too
CHORUS
I'm gonna soak up the sun
Got my 45 on
So I can rock on. |
