Long Time No See From 36,000 Feet

Well, it's about time for this blog to be resurrected. I haven't posted in over a year, and what a year it's been. I rode the Iron Butt Rally, I've been to Korea a couple of times, Hawaii twice, my wife and I had a baby, and I'm on my way home now from an unexpected trip to take care of my father in the hospital following a bad head injury.

In short, a lot of catching up to do. I'm now typing this from 36,000 feet somewhere between Minneapolis and Phoenix in a Delta 767 using my iPad. This is the first time I've had WiFi while actually airborne, and I must admit: it's one of the coolest things ever. It's made my completely oblivious to the cramped quarters on the plane, which has nary a seat empty. Take away the free meals, treat me like a number, shrink the leg room... All is well as long as I have my iPad and free airborne WiFi!

Look for a few blog entries in the near future: the outcome of the 2009 Iron Butt Rally, my beautiful new daughter, my upcoming ride in the 2011 Iron Butt Rally. The adventure never ends!

As for this entry, it looks like we're inbound to Phoenix, so time to sign off. Tonight, I can't wait to get back to my home and be alone with my amazing wife and daughter.
