My blog has become a small announcement board for a few days, sorry.

I'm back in NYC for one night and one night only and I'd love to meet up with anyone that reads this blog ;)
I also want some really good pizza... ;)
So come meet me:
6pm at Grimaldis

On Saturday December 9th a memorial ride was held for Eric NG. Eric NG was killed on the westside greeway, a car protected bike/run/jog path. He was hit by a overly intoxicated driver whom had no idea that he was driving on a bike path. The driver hit Eric NG head-on at about 30 miles per hour killing Eric instantly.

Roughly a week ago Diana and I boarded an Amtrak train at Penn station in New York City. We had just finished packing and cleaning up our house not more than 10 hours before. We shipped a few boxes to China, shipped a few boxes to Florida and took the rest with us on the train. We traveled with three suitcases, three guitars, one amplifier, and two boxes. It took us roughly one month to rid of ourselves of nearly all of our worldly possessions except the items we could not part with (yet).
I kept...

Today is our last day in New York City. At 11am tomorrow morning we board a train destined for Florida from there we'll be crisscrossing the country before flying overseas to our new home in China!

I sent out a mass email to the 161 subscribers to the New York City groups.drupal.org group today!

Diana and I went to see Talk Radio on Broadway...Oh Broadway, how do I love thee

 

After spending two weeks in Scandinavia and using many of the city bicycles I became a bit lazy in my bike riding. The standard bicycle in Europe is considered old-school in America. They are typical 1 or 3 speed cycles with *gasp* coaster brakes.

Yup that old-school pedal backwards style is all the rage throughout Europe.

The plane leaves at 10pm tonight. Newark non-stop to Stockholm, Sweden. Right now I'm sitting in front of my laptop waiting for Diana to get out of the shower so that I can pop in, shower, shave and put my brand-spanking new contacts in. It has been well over a year since I last wore contacts and I'm excited to have them again.
