So Christmas is almost here. Things have been very busy here since Thanksgiving. Many things going on at work and with the family. Several Christmas parties and other things. JJ's concert was cancelled and their Christmas vacation started two days early. Craziness from what happened in Connecticut last week. Our thoughts and prayers have been with those families.
I have not been on the bikes since the day before Thanksgiving. Will start a training routing on New Years. I would like to do the Barry-Roubaix in March. I did the inaugural race and have not been back since. I really enjoy gravel road riding and this race is really growing into something special. It sold out in 9 days and then the promoter announced that they will finish the race in downtown Hastings and kept registration open. This could become the biggest race in the state! Good luck to Rick and his team, they do great work.
Almost all the presents are wrapped now. Brendan is really excited. JJ came down with a cold. He should be feeling better by Christmas. My parents plan on coming out, we will do brunch with them. I love cooking breakfast. They really enjoy it and the boys mean so much to them.
There were also some difficult times. My birth father passed away the other week. We did not really have relationship. I new him more as a cousin that I seen occasionally. My mom took it really hard. His mother (mom's sister) passed away when he was 5. Mom was only a teenager and helped her parents raise him. When my dad and mom married he was a young man and dad also helped him a lot. Mom said she felt like she lost her first son. He was 68. His health was not good for many for many years and recently he had started dialysis.
Well I guess that brings things up to speed and I will post up after Christmas.
