Ready to Ride
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayThanks to all the hiptoperati and sidekickers who have pledged their support for my Trek Across Maine so far. I am just about all packed up and ready as I'll ever be.

I'll be blogging live from the 180-mile trail as time and circumstances and phone charging permits. From the mountains to the sea I imagine I'll find a few scenic shots. I am looking forward to a good ride and meeting some good folks.

Here are each day's route maps, in case anyone wants to play along at home.Note the mountain on Day 1 - they try to kill us off as early as possible! :)

Thanks again to all who have donated to the American Lung Associate in support. If you would like to pledge me, there is still time! My goal is to raise $1,000 and I am falling just a bit short.

Thanks also to my family for being supportive while I trained/prepared/kept dragging them back to the bike store for more stuff.

Also thanks to the fine folks at Marin Bikes for sending along a bike jersey to support my ride (also for making the bike I've been riding for many years).

See you on the road!

Headed for above-freezing this weekend, but still below zero for now.
Vote early, vote often

For the Maine US Senate seat, incumbant Olympia Snowe is not in Danger of losing her seat. But I am interested in watching these results to see how her 2 challengers - Dem Jean Hay Bright and Independent Bill Slavick do. In the Maine Mock Student election (high schools across Maine) Slavick came in ahead of Hay Bright, 16.3% vs. 12.5%.

We use optical cards where you draw a line so no touchscreen trickery to watch out for (but I do miss the KERRRCHUNKKK of the old lever-style booths)

Spent a very full day in Boston saturday. Started out with a behind-the-scenes tour of the medical facilities of the New Englnd Aquarium. Picked up a few pounds of produce at the outdoor produce market (just 99 cents for a fresh pineapple!), browswed some shops, did some xmas shopping at a craft fair (featuring a gingerbread house display), and finally stopped by Trader Joe's to stock up on groceries.

New AIM screen name
this picture is owned by the submitter. contact submitter for permission before using it in any wayThe AIM screen name I've been using for about six years has somehow gone irretrievably out of commission. My new AIM screen name is: mik3pop

I can't get to my old buddy list either, so if you haven't heard from me in a while on AIM that is why. Drop me a message so I can re-add you.

If you work at AOL, please contact me about restoring my old screen name ;)
