Hawks Rule! Who Knew?

OK, well, I haven't been doing much training recently, but I have been listening to the Chicago Blackhawks' games on internet radio (what a great invention, by the way.) Of course, the minute I move to someplace wretched, Hawks' management start to act like they have an effin clue, and the team plays like it too. Figures, doesn't it?

Hmmmm. I may have to move back to the Outback. CoachKaryn and I have talked. She's looking forward to having me back and I'm looking forward to having my ass kicked once again.

And, toward that end, I've got meetings scheduled next week related to a latent business idea that would help consumers wrest control of their personal health care information from clueless doctors and venal hospitals. I'll keep y'all posted but it could be BIG BIG BIG BIG BIG. Venture capital is circling, lurking, hinting.  That beach annuity may yet be fully funded...

Post-meetings, I'll fly back to the Great Plains, crank up the iPod with 2,000 new tunes, load the Flying Lunchbox with long underwear, skis and vino, point it west and spend several weeks skiing at Steamboat Springs. Tri-Bro will be there. So will Tri-Mom-from-the- mountains, and maybe Tri-Sis from southern California. Two Tri-Daughters (#3 and #4) are joining the festivities along with aunts, uncles, cousins, friends, hangers-on and various family groupies.


Tri-Bro and I plan to spend some time looking for a condo to buy in the Steamboat area for use as a summer training base, family gathering place and ski bum crash pad.  I figure I've got, maybe, two careers left in me and if one should happen to be internet entrepreneur, the other is definitely gonna be ski bum.

T-D #4 is sporting a new car (Audi A-4) and a new phone (Apple iPhone.) Gearwise, she's much cooler than her Dad and if you saw her you'd say she's cooler is most other ways too!  

iPod shuffle: "Smoke On the Water" by Deep Purple, from "Made In Japan." God, this is such a guilty pleasure. Early 70's heavy metal from my favorite band as a high-school senior. I've outgrown most of those musical tastes but not my fondness for that amazing riff.

Detroit SUCKS!! Go Blackhawks!! Think you might need someone to kick your ass out the door in the mornings for your daily tri-training runs? I think I know someone that would be real good at doing just that!
