The Bachelor Life

Dave says: With Alisha gone and spring break at the university, it was a surprisingly boring week in what has otherwise been an extremely busy semester. My family came to visit for the weekend and to take Daniel to a ski race. It was his first race and I think it went pretty well for him. He has a natural talent for sports that require balance and speed.

I have been chatting with Alisha regularly over Skype, however I'll let her tell you about her adventures rather than posting on her behalf. Not only can we do video, voice, and text, but we can also play games like Chinese Checkers over Skype. So far she has been beating me but I will keep trying new games until I find one that I am good at.

I also got a chance to do some road racing at the U of U Omnium. I felt a bit tired and performed terribly in the crit but was able to turn it around for the hill climb and circuit race for some ok results. I stole Alisha's carbon hoops to race on while she is gone and they are fast.

The bachelor life is definitely not my favorite. There are lots of pitfalls like not cooking for days at a time, staying up late for no apparent reason, talking out loud to myself, and wearing pajamas for most of my waking hours. So far the only good things that I've been able to do are to spend more time working on homework, to get in some MTB rides, and to somehow avoid wasting time watching TV. However, this is a small price to pay for having a wife/superstar and I am super proud of her.
