The man and a fixie

I have left the Glen...


In 05' it felt impossible, but I pulled out the gates on Friday and realized I would not be coming back on Monday. I had a surreal feeling come over me and gunned my jeep to 50 on the entrance road and was gone.

On to a totally new chapter in my life...

Using the man for 2ish years to finance grad school..

Oddly enough I am most excited about being able to easily ride my bike to work and building up the fixie (someone else's shown below)that will go along with the commute. Of course the fixie was inspired by the possibility of not getting this job and having to sell my car.

I think I am attracted to commuting to work on the fixie partly because of the beauty of it's simplicity, but also to counteract working for the "man". I realize that I am trying to justify working for these guys, but at least they are generous with their employees and the places they will be volunteering.
