What's new?

Big things actually. After a couple months of "what ifs", we are now officially moving to Kansas City, MO/KS. My wife, being the rock star that she is, was pursued by the Time Warner folks that run that region and the pot was too sweet to pass up. She starts 9/7, so next weekend we'll head up to look for a house(to rent for now), she'll stay to start the new job, and I'll come back to start getting things packed up. I'm planning on being up there by 10/1, but my last day in the shop is 9/1. There's too much to get done to try and work too.
I'm really looking forward to having a Fall again. I think that's what I missed the most about living in South Texas. We will get colder Winters than we've ever experienced, which I will enjoy, not too sure how Marci will handle it.
Best of all, the cycling scene up there is excellent, and right there in KC too. No more having to travel 5hrs to get to races. I can race my little heart out all within a couple hrs of the confines of home. Oh, I'm sure I'll extend that radius out farther, I won't be able to help myself, the possibilities are endless.
The timing of it all will keep me from hitting any of the TMBRA Fall xc races, but if I get my shtuff together, I will be toeing the line for a Fall race or two up KC way........can't wait.

Wow! Congrats to your wife on the new gig and both of you on the relocation to Kansas City. Sounds like a good move in many ways.
