23 hours to go...

There are roughly 23 hours left until i get on a plane with all my cherished, worldly posessions and travel 4289 miles from Screwmarket.

This is where I am going, for your reference. i think i am about 18 miles from the beach, and fairly close (about 40 miles) to an 8129 foot mountain!!! that's like bringing Mount Washington plus 1/3 to Sanford, ME! i ride to sanford twice or three times a year!

this is going to be an f-ing EPIC semester! oh yeah and i'm going to travel around Europe too.

i was thinking about what this blog is all about.
It will not be something where i comment or rant about inane garbage. i do that in real life therefore i don't need to pollute my little spot on the internet with such negative attitudes.

that being said, i will try to use thie blog to motivate myself to write about my daily habits, encounters, bicycle rides, ride data, routes, travels and so on.

it will generally be a document and testament to the glory of my Italian adventure.

in previous posts, i mentioned things that i will and will not miss; here is a continuation of that list:
Miss Not Miss
- fall foliage - work clothes
- The Simpsons - my cell phone
- my bed - my truck and feeding it petrol
- my pillows - classes (even though i am taking them in italy)
- the cocoon that i create when i sleep - there is probably some other stuff
- CLASSIC ROCK!

on a final note, one of my co-workers said goodbye as he left this afternoon.
"hopefully see you all on tuesday," he said as he shuffled out, trying to amusing and doleful.

HAH!! jokes on you, tubby! but i didn't say anything.
