Yesterday after work I took a rest day and headed into the pain lab for a core tune-up. Shortly after Paul, Niko, and I headed out to the Winery by the airport exit to watch my good friend Ed play the drums in a couple sets of some of the best jazz I have heard. OK, so I haven’t been to to many jazz sessions, maybe once in Plattsburgh NY. I am bad with names but the folks accompanying Ed were all great characters.

Today is a stark opposite as I prepare to destroy myself on the Butte 100 course.  Climb until it hurts…o/o
