Ok, after hearing it from several friends, I have to apologize for the inexcusable neglect of my blog. I guess though, that it would be much worse if no one noticed that I have not been writing. I guess part of the problem is that I put a lot of pressure on myself to write something really good if I write anything at al, but that totally misses the point of this blog, which for me is supposed to be an exercise in writing for an audience. It's not much exercise if you don't do it, right?
So here's my new baby:
I finally pulled the trigger on a road bike soon after moving to Davis, the (unofficial) road biking capital of the world. Boy, did ever get a good deal on ebay, too. Why would anyone buy a new one? I got a 2 year old bike for 25% of its new price. I'm very excited to ride it now, as my former favorite form of exercise, running, has become really difficult lately because of an aggrivated back injury. The great thing about riding here is that I can literally go to the next town in four directions and be on a bike lane the whole way, as well as having a lane all over the city. And the Davis Bike Club has, on average, three group rides every day. Hopefully I'll be able to find some time for this as school starts in 2 weeks, and life as we know it is officially over.
Ok, Matthew, that wasnt so bad, now was it? A couple of paragraphs every now and then. Let's see if I can keep this up.

Posted by: Matthew Pearson at September 11, 2003 05:53 PMGlad to see you're back on blogging. Nice bike, too.
Now you ought to update us on math bootcamp and the dizzying new world of being in graduate school. I want to hear about that (for the obvious reasons, since I'm in the same situation as you), so don't wait until you have something profound to say.
