There comes a time when you have to blog less and do more. This past week, I was able to stay active despite the snowless winter and cold. It's gotten so, I really miss the bike. A friend from MS Global, Larry Vuolo, who also grew up in Revere, rode a nice dry and tight 40 yesterday somewhere in Western Massachusetts. I'd like to say, "I'm jealous," but I'm finding it easier to wake up early and drop into spin class than going through the hassle of pulling on winter gear and toughing it out. Can you say, "wimp?" I knew you could.
Yesterday, a friend, Ron, his daughter and my oldest daughter headed up to Shawnee for a day of skiing. It was great to get out, in contrast today's cabin-fever session of huddling with the bills. Shawnee is in Mt. Washington Valley, and from the Pine lift, you can see the snow-covered mountain and its 22-percent grade on the final climb dominating the landscape, and my cycling imagination.
Tuesday is decision day, and I'm not getting any younger.
Do I climb or do I not?
