This family is too cool.

So... Erin took me on my first bike ride in Garden Ridge. We went at least 20 mph on the roads--cars, gravel, and all. It was rather adventurous, although now my legs and crotch area are taking a beating. My seat was a little low and I haven't quite gotten the muscle memory figured out yet with push and pull. But going through traffic is pretty cool... especially sporting Navy tri gear.

I'll make sure we take pictures next time we go. Which means I must go out and purchase a camera tomorrow.

Ash Wednesday: I don't know what I'm giving up, it should be either wine or chocolate... but it seems to be the only staple every evening here in the McCaw estates it would be way too difficult to get tangled up in that mess. What should I give up? In college it used to be AIM every year, so I would go through this IM withdrawal for 2 months, it would be miserable. I could do that... but how would I get in touch with people? Aha.

Call me.

**decided to give up beer.**
