I am still here and breathing. It has been quite a while since my last post. I suppose life has just been getting in the way. Maybe I should rephrase it and say that I have been just sorta/kinda living it rather than thinking about it. It's nice to just live and not think about what it means. I guess it's akin to being inserted back into the Matrix.

So the past few months have seen me mainly just working and trying to keep up with everything going on at my workplace. Aside from work, I've had some time to get some biking in as well. Was finally able to get a geared road bike and have been able to go on some urban adventures. However, all my road rides have been training for my mini-suburban bikepacking trip hopefully this year. Speaking of trips, I am also planning a short backpacking trip. Hoping that my for-too-long achy left foot will hold up so longer backpacking trips can be taken. For this year, I am also planning to take an actual vacation and hope to be able to do an in-state road trip.
