Saturday Afternoon and the Dream is Stronger Than Ever.
Things are a little uncertain right now - more to come later (once I figure out how this blogging stuff works - looks pretty easy so far though!).
So instead of riding today I'm in the office trying to figure out my options for the future. Right now the road to the peleton has put a series of speedbumps in front of me. I'm not going to let them get in my way - I just need a second to scan the road and find the best line through them.
You know I'm an engineer when I spent Thursday night until 2am creating a flow chart of my options for the future, outlining the positives and negatives of each decision, the affect it will have on my dream (of riding in a pro peleoton for 1 year), and the financial consequenses (this is by far the least important - it won't sway my decision at all, but I do want to know what I'm getting into).
In my heart I already know what I'm going to do, now it's just finding out which road to take in order to get there. The best thing about the flow chart: it reflects what I already know it my heart (so it's good backup and I can really go forward in this time of decision knowing my heart AND my brain are into it!).
I'm sure this sounds pretty vague, so I'll post the flow chart once the first major speedbump is passed (Friday September 16th 2005!).

Andy, you have a blog! Woo hoo, Very exciting! Can't wait to read where your travels take you. And now, words of advice from our friend Mark Twain:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover."
Seems to me like you're headed in the right direction ;)
