Over the Hill

So it's official,
I'm old.
I recently turned 35, (I spent most of the big day in Vegas, geeking out on Bike Stuff, not drinking, whoring or gambling.) which is bad enough....

but I just got back from the Jewel, where I bought beer (Amstel Light, of all things) among other things, and I wasn't ID'd. tattoo's, shorts, rumpled shirt. "yup, with that gray hair, he must be old enough to buy"

On more personal notes:
-We are reaching a big step in Bike Shop Land, we are planning on ordering a WHOLE CRAPLOAD (over 100) of bikes and expanding our offerings for 09, as well as some remodeling of the shop. kind of exciting and crazy times.
-The boys are in seperate schools for the first time in 5 years, which makes the morning routine a little less hectic.
-Tif got a cool job as asistant head coach of one the local Swim Teams "Chlorine is my drug of Choice" she says, so it's a great oppurtunity for her.
-Our puppy is slowin becoming a smaller pain in the ass, but our old dog is starting to take over.
more to follow as time permits

Yeah, I can relate to the not being carded thing. I sometimes go out to get beer for the ex and they dont even blink. Feels weird. feels old school.

Im totally happy that you are expanding the shop w/ a huge order and some revamping. Its fun to revamp, I just helped the ex w/ that about a month ago and it was a good learning experience and kinda fun too.

Your boys are gettin all growns up!

Late happy Bday, Im glad youre home safe.

PLEASE keep us posted here on all your shop adventure with everything that is gonna happen.

Good to have you back bud.

Oh and woof woof, dogs are cool.

I didn't stay on the strip. I was at the Plaza, up town, one of the oldest hotels still standing in vegas i think.
