Today I decided to start perusing Bike Forums again. Some updates:

I moved. I no longer live in the Canada of Chicago. I now live on the near-Northwest side in FG central. Ironically, I no longer own one. I'm riding a CX bike these days. Looking to grab a FG again soon, though. The new neighborhood is great. I can walk to a great brewery, a distillery, and a ton of restaurants (one with a Michelin star) in a matter of minutes, and 90% of my Chicago friends live near me. I (mostly) quit smoking, and I am Executive Sous Chef for a company that owns two bars, is opening a farm-to-table Mexican place within the next three months, and just closed on two other properties. I've been reunited with the lady that gave me my first sous gig, and I'm super excited to be her right hand again.

I don't get to ride as much as I'd like, because work, but life is pretty swell.

How have you all been?
