Forgot to mention anything about it being Friday the thirteenth in my last post. Oh well. Nothing scary happened anyway.
My computer crashed yesterday. And I'm at a total loss for how to fix it. So today I made a stop by the Apple store. It was a mad house! But I got in and out and all the folks I talked to were stoked that I wasn't being a typical asshole customer. Ended up making an appointment at the "Genius Bar" for Tuesday after work. Don't know how I'm going to get my computer there yet, but I'm sure I'll be able to figure it out. It's be cool to strap a box that big onto the back of my bike! Really "messengering it up."
Crtystal Rose got a random call for work from a friend of hers and was able to hook up a day of work for our new friend Robin. That was really tight. He's a dirtbag and has a ton of climbing experience compared to us. I think he's still in town right now, but we'll see how long that lasts. I hope to be able to get out climbing with him at least one more time. Who knows, maybe he'll be here for awhile.
Yesterday Morning we went out back and spent our first monring of yard work on the back of the house. We couldn't have been back there for more than four hours and already it's starting to look pretty tight! I can't wait to have our first bbq! We relocated Jerome's house and he seems to really like it. Filled in his holes too. Seems to like that less. Next obective - find out if these rumors of a weedwhacker being on the property are true.

2012
It's 2012. Half a month in and so far I've been sticking to the new habit I'm trying to establish. I bought a planner and I'm trying my best to keep a journal. Nothing long or in depth. No thoughts. Just a record of what I did that day.
I think maybe I'll try to do the same thing here. Tronotropic Traverse - Living in a Foreign Land. I started this blog when I was, in fact, living in a foreign land. It made sense. And it's a funny thing, despite being right here in the good old US of A, it still makes a lot of sense. Since those days in Macau a lot has changed; they've made me realize that feeling at home isn't all about where you are or even necessarily who you're with.Where I want to feel at home is where I am. And I've got to say, since I'm here I think I should try to enjoy myself. Macau, despite all else, whet my appetite and now there's nothing I enjoy more than a jaunt through a foreign land.
So here's to 2012. Will it be my first full calendar year as a bicycle commuter? Will I climb 5.12? Will I walk the dog every single day? Who knows? I do know that along the way there will be plenty of incredibly (un)interesting and highly (mis)adventurous tales. And hopefully some campfires.
Check out that fly getup! Pedaling around Vegas every day and having fun doing it! "Hey, Mike, are those waterproof pannies?" Yes they are. Because sometimes you can ride longer if you just let a little out. Are those waterproof x-ray goggles?
Good thing, "Keeping the same look" isn't my new year's resolution.
The lucky pup who's gonna get all the walks. Jerome. Goofy looking in this picture and pretty much all the rest of the time as well.
