better late than never

well, it's been about seven months since my trip, and anyone i've talked to about it knows i've been meaning to get a tattoo commemorating the completion of it since...well, it's completion. however, due to lack of funds i have had to put it off for a while. after the gods of financial fortune smiled on me a few weeks ago in the form of an unexpected bonus, i was finally able to put my plan into action, and here is the result:


that would be my forearm, in case you can't tell. it's kind of an awkward picture.

in other moto-news, the weather has decided to hint at spring, though it remains fickle, and i've been riding vixen to hurling practice in the evenings. it's been great to get out on the bike again, though it can be a little awkward riding with all my gear on my back. i've had to trip down what i actually take to practice. hopefully the weather holds and i will get out there more often.

the one thing i'm slightly worried about is that, since i recently got new glasses, i no longer have prescription sunglasses. with my old frames i had some nice clip-ons, but not for my new ones. this can pose a serious problem when riding, since i usually like to be able to see, and not ride blind. so i may have to fork out some more dough for some prescription shades. such is life.

but, with the return of the sun comes the return of the bike and (hopefully) the return of the blog! it's good to be back.

rftc,
