No, I am not dead! (yet)

As far as the blogosphere is concerned, I may as well be dead.  I haven't posted.  I haven't generated little tidbits of information to spew into cyberspace for the consumption of the few who I force feed this blog by signing them up to receive automatic updates. (If I didn't then NO ONE would read it! Grin.)  But, I am happy to report, I am not dead.

In fact...

I am training again!  Training for a race that just may kill me.  Then I will be dead.  And then I won't be able to post.  Sorry about that.  Just how it goes when you are dead.

Ok, maybe a bit of an exaggeration.  Just maybe.  However, here are the stats.  My house sits at, according to a cool site called at www.earthtools.org, 170.6 ft above sea level.  I often do my riding and biking, aka training, down along the Potomac River which sits at 19.7 ft above sea level.  Currently I am doing my swim training in our pool at the bottom of my street: 150.9 ft above sea level.  Why do you care?  Because on July 10th at 7:00 am, I will be jumping into a freezing cold lake to swim 750m, then biking 20k and running 5k at, drumroll please...

5567.6 ft!!!

That is why I might die.

So, enjoy the last few weeks of my life.  I will try and come up with some vaguely interesting things to post and then you can all show up at my funeral and say nice things about me like: "Wow, he really knew how to take an idea and milk it for a really long and pointless blog posting."  And I will be looking down (or up) and giving a little fist pump.  Mission accomplished!

Til next time...
