ch ch ch changes.

when i decided to go to the show i was gung-ho about buying some fancy and pricey pipes, but now i feel i may walk away empty handed and fat walleted.  i may feel different once i'm there.

historically, when i go on vacation i return with bold new ideas and changes for my life, or at least for my lifestyle.  i suspect this trip will be no exception (i may quit smoking! har!), and truly, even if the trip does not elicit any desire for change, my employer certainly will.  it's doubtful i'll be quitting, but i'm being relocated against my will to a region of the building much less desirable than where i'm now sitting, for purposes laughably dubious.

Anyhow, changes are coming.  In fact, I'm back here, so I guess they've already started.  The seasons are changing, I guess, though they don't want to tip their hand much, apparently.  BBQ season is approaching, and I feel bad that I haven't smoked ribs since I moved across the street.  I aim to change that soon.  I also haven't ridden more than 40 miles since 2010, another thing I aim to change.

I'm starting to read books again, I think.  I'd stopped doing that and I miss it.

I've got a couple other things planned, but perhaps it'd be better to do them than to blab about them.
