Vacuosity

She's got bite

These are the interesting developments with Jaimeson right now:

Teeth Two of them are poking through the gums now, which means that her gumming will soon leave a mark.

Chewing Her only and constant thought is: "Hey, can I eat that?"

Sharing It's funny that when she's chewing away on something, she'll offer it to you for a couple of sucks.

Screaming Jordan would yell, I called it "proclaiming his existence", but it was nothing like this. Jaimeson lets it wail like I've never heard: loud, long and defiant.

Adoration The boy can do no wrong. It doesn't matter what he does, it's the greatest thing ever.



I am in terrible shape. In the words of my friend Adam "Changing diapers is bad for your cardio." I've been trying to force myself to run every day in the two-week span before this year's 24 hour in a desperate attempt to regain some of my former ability. I'm not hopeful that I'll get it.

I went with Adam this week to Hardwood to get a bit of practise in. It was a painful reminder of what pitiful shape I'm in, as well as how little experience I have mountain biking.

It's not all bad though. Thanks to Brad from Yield, I have a new bike on the way. He hooked me up with a great deal from his friend who is a rep for Rocky Mountain. The bike I'm getting is a 2002 fanatik, a decent entry/mid-level full suspension bike. I'm going to have a chance to ride the bike next week, as well as cover the race trail, which is two steps ahead of last year.

I will suffer, though. I think of the pain as payment for the year of laziness I indulged in. But with luck, and some suffering in advance, it won't be unbearable, just tough.
