Both my father and brother passed away last summer after long illnesses (Parkinson's and Lymphoma respectively). That in itself is something to deal with, but I also now find myself my mom's main point of reference after being the irresponsible little brother most of my life. Apparently I'm also the patriarch of the family now, a role I guess I'll have to embrace, but it sure feels odd.

On a more positive note, I'm about to start a yoga course and would like to do some touring on the bike.
