yep, new bike...

Maybe I should finally get a new seat for the new bike? Looks kinda crappy doesn't it? I think the white saddle on the road bike is in better shape.

This past weekend I had "off", no term paper to work on. I decided I'd go to Henry's and pick up my frame. Jeb went to the Rutgers, Scarlet and White football game with my parents.


I took Sophie with me to DE to get the frame and some bits form Henry's. They are busy on Saturdays.

I didn't get a chance to finish this entry before I got my take home final... So, this is all you get until I finish the FRICKIN' FINAL! (Have I said how much I dislike this class?)

I will say this about Sunday's attempted ride at Wissahickon, I f'ed up and didn't finish my bike. Brent was right, my stem was set too low, and I would have killed myself if I tried to ride with only three gears. I almost killed myself riding with all 24 gears at High Rocks later on Sunday!

After this take home final I am done for the summer! (Have I told you how much this class sucks?)

Finally, an update.

A few entries ago I talked about my Planning Law class and how much of bitch it was going to be. Well, I just got through the toughest part. A 20-25 page law paper... yep lots of fun. If anyone is interested the title is "The New Jersey Highlands Water Protection and Planning Act. Too much? Too Fast?". Let me know and I'll send you a copy.
I SUCK at writing, so 20-25 pages was pretty tough. Good thing Kristen was around to bail me out. If I get through grad school she is going to be the reason. Thanks Kris! There were quite a few late nights working on this paper.



some reason the photo is not loading, sorry.

So, it was a 10 Red Bull paper, I had the Guinness once I found out that class was cancelled!

Yep, I was sitting in front of the computer working on the paper until the very last minute. I had to run out to Staples for more paper, we ran out. My classmate Joe, calls and says class is cancelled! I think to myself, "I guess we get another week to work on the papers?" Then Joe tells me he emailed his to the professor. Doh! I can't let him get all the brownie points! I emailed it in after a few beers and dinner from the new taco joint up the street. I got an email back from the professor, he's ok and he's looking forward to reading my paper!?!?!? Man, he's in for a let down!

I have a week "off", no paper to work on, just readings for class. Then we get our final exam, it is a take home, open book. BUT after the final... no more school until late August!!!

I have a bit of a list of things I want to do this summer:

RIDE my new mountain bike! Yep, after 11 years my red jamis is going to a good home.
Blog more. sorry I haven't been updating but now, NO MORE TERM PAPER!
Build the patio under the deck.
teach Jeb to ride a bike
finish painting the house.
listen to the Harry Potter books again in anticipation of the final book.
Read the final book on vacation in South Carolina.
watch some movies, a guy from work lent me "Intermission" he thought I'd like it.
RIDE!
maybe even race my bike?

The kids are doing great. Sophie is starting to pull herself up and stand all by herself. Jeb just signed up for tee-ball.



They had a good Easter.

the pictures aren't loading, I guess when you don't blog for a month you forget how to do it....
