Into the Wild

Change.

It's hard, exciting, scary, and exhilirating all at once, don't you agree?

I watched "Into the Wild" this week. Great movie about a young man who sets out on adventure with no money and very little belongings, hoping ultimately to make his way to Alaska. I won't ruin the ending for you, but it's good stuff.

Well, we're off into the wild ourselves. I never thought I would leave Central Texas, but if there is one thing I have learned in my 32 years, it is that I should use the word "never" a little less often.

I've been offered what I think/hope/pray is my ideal job. Notice I didn't say dream job. If you dream about work, I worry about you. I'm gonig to be the director for an orthopedic program at a home health company. Lots of out and about, talking with physicians, mentoring and leading other PT's. Not much patient care. Lots of numbers and business planning. So I can scratch my business itch with the corporate net under me - sweet.

Where you ask? Well, my office will be in Bedford, but I will be all over Tarrant County.

When you ask? Soon. I'll probably be moving the week of June 2nd.

What will I miss you ask? My church, my friends, the winter weather, the trails

What will I not miss you ask? Gnarly traffic, liberal kooks, mucho expensive housing

What do I look forward to you ask? My family, my DFW friends, my children around their grandmas and grandpas

Are you surprised? You should be. I still am a bit myself.

Peace out

I'm still not very good at this..


Hard to get an update going.


Happy Mother's Day, Mom, I love you.


My little gal is learning like crazy. New words, letters, and sentences every day. She's also quite the coordinated little monkey.


Good riding this weekend. I think my main man Barry PT fixed my knee which was giving me fits. I hadn't been able to get beyond 3.5 hours in about 2 months, but this weekend I put together 2 back-to-back 4 hour days! I had become pretty nervous about my Leadville training. This weekend was good for my confidence.


Speaking of riding, expect a good picture of me lying in the brush on the side of a hill after I crashed in front of Travis. I'm sure he'll put it on his blog to make fun of me. The link is at the bottom of the page. He couldn't get his camer out quick enough and was saying "Don't get up, don't get up, wait for me to take a picture." I was trying to get up, but I was on my back with my head going downhill, plus I was trying to be sure that all my appendages were still functioning properly. Therefore, I wasn't moving too quickly.
