Okay, I suck

I'm sorry . . .I'm a terrible person.


I completely fell off the wagon last summer with regards to blogging.


The combination of class, early mornings and just general malaise sort of kicked my ass.


Much has transpired since then, and I find that I miss the blog quite a bit.


Did you know that since the last time I posted, I had thirteen visitors from Vietnam?  How the hell does that happen?  A great global search engine optimization accident I'm sure.


Well since then, the family and I have relocated here:

Not bad work if you can get it.  This time the Army has gone done did me right.  


I was too late to sign up for the Big Sur Marathon but a buddy and I did sign up for the San Francisco marathon in July.  I have no intention of turning this into a SF marathon prep blog but I figured I'd mention it's on the calendar.


If anyone is curious, I did manage to beat Oprah at the MCM after battling some less than stellar wheels the final month of training.  4:27 was the final time.  Next time is going to be a whole lot better, lemme tell ya.  I've hear the SF marathon is a bear, but I've spent so much time on my feet I'm going to be quite disappointed if I don't improve.  On the upside, I was able to raise over 1700 bucks for the Fisher House, which was a victory regardless of my time.


And so there it is, my halfhearted apology and relatively shitty update.  I figure I've already broken most of the solid blogging rules at this point (consistency, etc) so there is nowhere to go but up.


That being said, the beach is a damn nice place from which to look at the top of the hill.
