The Doctor gave me the go-ahead to ride again today, though I have to wear the split when riding. I rode for about an hour out in Wilowdale. I have to go pretty slow, due to the split, but mostly due to the loss of strength (or confidence?) in my left hand. I also felt pretty rusty as far as general bike handling goes. That said, it was great to be riding again on such a perfect day.

For the next month I’m planing on doing a mix of trail running, trail and road riding. I think the running has been good, and I need to keep my cardio-vascular fitness up since going slow on the MTB isn’t nearly as solid a work-out.

We’re back from our trip to NH. I’ve got a few photos to work through – here’s one I liked from the latest import off of the Cannon D300. Those prior ones are cell phone pictures.

I’ve had a rough week or so. This captures it really well.

I downloaded this EP last week, and I’ve been listening to it in the car. It’s holding up pretty well – maybe I’m just desperate for something new to listen to. I guess I’m into the sound design and production of it – very nice though my car’s subwoofer. So I give it a cautious recommendation.

How to Destroy Angels

I’m testing out Google’s Friend Connect – you’ll notice it over there in the right hand column. I’m really not sure what it does, or how it rates on the Good vs. Evil scale, but we’ll see. I does seem to increase page load times, though.

Update: Too Slow, and I have no Friends. So I shut it off.
