Lithium Decade Dysphoria Strikes Again!

I mentioned that Sirius XM's Lithium Channel mistake in my last post. It seems that it has occurred once again. This time they played Desire by U2. That was released in 1988's Rattle and Hum. Come on Sirius, put that on First Wave, The Spectrum, 80's on 8. It does not belong on 90's on 9 or Lithium.

Name The People

I was asked by a co-worker to create some Revit families from CAD blocks. They are 2D plan representations of people. I asked the requester if she wanted them named any certain way because this is what I saw.

This past weekend we took a trip to the mountains of Virginia. It is an area we have visited before with the Boy Scout troop, but this time we went without the scouts. I have been riding consistently again for nearly a year after I bought a new to me cyclocross bike. You can read more about that here .

We met Gina's co-workers at the park just after 10:00 am and started our hike. We have camped at this park before with the Boy Scouts but have never ...

Now that I am back on a bike and getting fitter, I decided to give a race a try. I saw a notification for Buddhapalooza and did some research. It looked like the perfect event for me to try racing again. It is set up as a fundraiser, 10 miles long (7 miles on road and 3 miles single track.)
