As I write, from sunny Southern California, I can’t help but to be grateful for the incredible opportunities 2009 has brought me. I know, I know, it’s barely the second of twelve months, so I can only hope the excitement continues. Here’s a rundown of meaningful happenings:
- 2008 ended with a wonderful, yet eye opening, family vacation under the Florida sun.
- 2009 opened back where I began my adult life, Montana, and continued as I stood aside one of my best friends at his wedding.
- Weeks later I accepted a position I spent months keeping my fingers crossed for… More on that soon!
- I started riding for a new cycling team in Portland. It’s a motivating group of guys with similar abilities and a dynamic which rivals that of the Russian Circus.
- I’ve made time to spend time with great friends, old & new, in Chicago last week and Los Angeles this week.
- Oh, and as if that wasn’t enough, like the rest of you, I witnessed history as Barack Obama took office as President of our great country… Epic to say the least.
- The madness continues this weekend when I head up to Northern California to catch the first few stages of the Amgen Tour of California where Lance Armstrong amongst a number of the sport’s other biggest names will battle. More on that to come.
In short, I feel pretty dang. That said, to quote one genius of a man: “The harder I work, the luckier I get.” -J.P. Morgan
