I finally got the balls to do it...

I applied at Bensonwood. Looks like something of importance has finally come out of my foot injury. Perhaps this was what the whole thing was about all along? Who knows. Anyway, if you want to check Bensonwood out, follow this link.

Also, if you're looking for a book to read, check out The End of Faith by Sam Harris. Freighteningly good. Read my review of this book here.

Hope all are well, and leave me some love in the comments so I know people are actually reading this!
May compassion be always in your heart, and peace be always on your tongue.

I can walk!!!

Well, I can use the leg/foot again.  Not well, mind you, but it can bear weight.  Within two weeks the Rolling Bodhisattva will ride again!

Trying out Performancing for Firefox

I just downloaded Performancing for Firefox, and I'm trying it out.  Supposedly this extension lets me post to my blog from the comfort of my own browser!  Check it out at https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/1730/! 

Whoa - where have I been?

Well, it's been a while since I've been here. What's new in my life? A whole bunch.

Brett and I moved into our new house and are now enjoying (cough) our new lives as landlords. It never ends with a house the size of a small village. Anyone want to help us paint this week?

Also, the NHOC Jackson Cabin project has been moving along. We now have the entire frame raised and part of the roof on. All that's left is to get the insulation up there and we'll be set to get it finished! If you'd like to see more on this, check out nhoccabins.blogspot.com

Bike riding? What's that? The house, the weather, and now a mashed leg has kept me off the trail in this, what was to be my most intense riding year ever. Funny how life works, huh? Check it out, though:


Looks nice, huh? That happened last friday and I still can't walk on it. I'm going to see the orthopedist today, so hopefully I'll be walking again by the weekend.

Anywho - hope you're all doing well, and if you get a chance, check out this book. Some good, yet scary, stuff to make you think.

May compassion be always in your heart, and peace be always on your tongue.
