New beginning or return to unfinished business? Who knows. Life seems to be a string of cycles and with each new year I seem to repeat several cycles. As the New Year rolls in and the holidays are finally over I like most people take a moment to reflect on what was and what I hope for the new year.

So returning to my blog since last posting in 2005 I've decided to try and give it another go, A resolution? not really just an effort to perhaps be able to look back at the end of the year and maybe break some of the not so good cycles and move on.

Speaking of cycles the biggest one of my life seems to be the never ending quest to return to Colorado. The positives really outweigh the negatives but it just wasn't in the cards this year. Tonight after blogging I will be sending MHS a letter saying I must un-accept the position there in lieu of the f'd up economy. The timing just isn't there for the family to uproot now. The house just wouldn't get top $ like we need in order to get a decent home in CS. So the plan for now is to hold off for yet another year and possibly try again in 2009.

So what about cycling? Who knows... as of this moment I'm pretty sure I'll go for another cross season. A visit from Jordan last nite almost had me quitting but after thinking about it I realize we're worlds apart with our personal agendas and lifestyles. Cycling gives me time to think and a distraction from stressful everyday life although it does provide some of it's own stress.

Enough rambling for now and hopefully future posts will be less rambling and more interesting. No promises. The "goal" is to try and post weekly for as long as I can. Remember it was 4 years since my last post so no telling where this is going. I changed the title of my blog to "In the Moment" because a man once said "Life is what happens while you're planning" and I think the message there is to live in the moment. BTW that man was John Lennon.
