[Ghoulish Delight]

Oh, and I've recommitted to fitness.

I really suffered for having lost my bike commute. 3-5 days a week of 20 miles of biking (minimum), which I looked forward to and was a reward/improvement over the alternative. Toward the end of 2012 I was probably in the best shape of my life.

Then I let my bike sit for 6 months. I forced myself to improve a little by signing up for the century ride again, but the training felt like a slog, and I barely managed to get myself in shape for it.

So last month I charged myself a pre-paid $15/month "You're out of shape, idiot!" tax - got myself a gym membership. So far at least, it's working. Love going there, making me feel great. We'll see how that goes as the pace of work picks back up from the holiday lull.
