// Eeeks!

Crazily enough, it’s been an entire month since I last posted. Fortunately, that’s because I have a kajillion things going on at once, and have’t had nearly as much time to write as I’d like to. I’ve got lots to cover, and I’ll try to cover a good portion of it in this post briefly, and then hit some things in more detail in the next several posts. Because I actually anticipate having a little bit of time now!
So what’s been keeping me so busy?
1) I’m the Gold Team leader for Clif’s 2 Mile Challenge!! This is super exciting, because it gives me a chance to promote some bicycle advocacy and give a big “boo-hiss” to emitting carbon dioxide with all the support of a really great company. I promise to write LOTS more in detail about this. But in the meantime, you should go to the website and sign up to be on the Gold Team. We’re riding to fight climate change, and logging our miles. Every trip you log earns you (and our team) points. The team with the most points at the end wins $25,000 for the non-profit associated with that team. Ours is the Alliance for Biking and Walking. More on the Alliance in a future post, too!
2) Sailing! So, Orion and I (well, mostly Orion) bought a sailboat! This happened in mid-May, about the time I dropped off the face of this site. It’s something of a fixer-upper, though honestly it’s in pretty good shape for being made in 1972. Anyway, we’ve been working on the boat or sailing on the boat pretty often, which has, needless to say, kept me away from blogging.
3) Random summer activities, including a weekend whitewater rafting trip, helping a friend move, hitting up the Temescal Street Fair in Oakland, and flying to Wisconsin for 5 days to be in a wedding/visit some folks. Insanity rules my schedule!
But I promise there will be more frequent postings from here on out…because I know you’re bored at work and need something to read! And sometimes I’m bored at work (like today) and need to write! Stay tuned!
I hate boats…
