Second half of the year... what's been going on?
Went to Guatemala for a week and a half for part 2 of my honeymoon. Had a great time. Toured the country by car, saw the big sites, remembered quite a bit of spanish from high school. Climbed the pyramids at
Tikal, went
mountain biking in the countryside, toured an organic macadamia nut farm, ate great local foods and started drinking coffee.
Rode the
Knoxville Double Century, my third double century of the year and became a
California Triple Crown winner. Not bad for my first year cycling. I ended the year with around 5600 miles and about 315,000 feet of climbing (lots of hills).
I continued to play
Ice Hockey for my team and put up less than stellar but far from bad numbers.
I flew out to NC to visit my sister and her new baby, then drove down to Atlanta to see some more family. I saw the
Thrashers and the
Hurricanes play and made the annual trip out to the
good shoe store. I also checked out the
new aquarium in Atlanta which was decent but second behind the aquarium in
Monterey.
The startup that I've worked for over the last 4+ years was acquired by a much larger company. To quote a co-worker, "It's better than a stick in the eye".
