I'm putting all of this (although it has changed drastically!)
In a box with this:
So I can climb on the plane tomorrow AM and head toward Banff. Lucky for me I've nailed seat 3-C first class all the way to Calgary.
I'm going to miss a few things while I'm gone. Rides with friends, Colossal, the house, the garden, cold beers, Mojitos, the CSA, the front porch, Minnesota summers, our bed, home cooked meals, backyard BBQ's, etc... but mostly, I'll miss time with her.
I've got a dozen nicknames for her, all of which she'd rather I not publish. This is a photo from our summer adventure last year. I'm looking forward to seeing Anni at the border in New Mexico. After I shower I'll be sure to give her all the hugs and kisses she deserves for being herself: Kind, Selfless, and Supportive are the words that come to mind immediately.
Good luck!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy it Joe. Take it all in! Major props to your lady for letting you take this opportunity!

Good luck Joe! You can do it! Have a fun and safe adventure.
ReplyDeleteI'll be eagerly awaiting updates tracking your progress. Sending you good vibes from Lincoln.
"when in doubt, take a nap...."
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, I'll second that advice. :)
By my estimate the race starts in about 15 minutes.
Good luck and stuff.
