The Bachelor

Thought I missed The Bachelor tonight. The risk that comes with not having cable or a DVR...I have to be home when the shows are on. Anyway, I found out that the finale isn't until next week. Also, I discovered that this is another show that I can watch online. Although I have to wait until the latest episodes are posted, I am finding that watching episodes online is still better than paying "the man" far too much for cable. I haven't watched The Bachelor every time, but I must admit that I saw enough that I want to catch the ending...and now I know I will, even if that means watching it online.

Speaking of bachelors, I decided I need a girlfriend. No, not to fill a void in my life. Not even a great reason at all. I need a girlfriend so that I can go to bed early. Yep, sounds silly, but being a bachelor I tend to get pressured to stay out late and sleep less and drink more than I want. Sure, I could leave earlier; I am a grown man, right? Yes, that is true. However, others still expect you to be out, and sticking to my convictions wouldn't change expectations. I need the sleep!

Despite lacking sleep, I managed to go x-country skiing twice this weekend. I checked out Standing Rocks and Kettle Morraine North trails. I was sad to see the Spring-like weather go, but I admit that I was happy to be able to ski again. Besides, if the weather stayed nice, then I would have to start training. Not sure I want to get too serious yet, so let it snow...at least for a few more weeks.

And in a few more weeks I will be heading south with Brian to mountain bike in the Ozarks. It seems like Arkansas has plenty of great trails, so I am looking forward to getting back on dirt for some real single-track riding...not to mention another return to Spring weather. And most exciting of all, it will be the debut of the Superfly...at least the debut of my SuperFly. Can't wait!
