Various thoughts

Business is increasing steadily.

Saw a leaf with frost on it this morning during my commute.... aaaaaahhhhhhhh!

Weekend Update: Competition Results

My weekend in Copenhagen involved zero tourism, but I got to know some great people through the competition. The short version: I took second out of 200 competitors. It was extremely hard, but alot of fun. And I'm very tired as a result.

(Very) full report after the jump:

Off to Copenhagen

I'm elaving shortly for the Crossfit Competition in Copenhagen. 200 competitors, 5 workouts in one day (tomorrow). Should be fun. You might be able to follow progress here, though I will be done at 7pm local (noon EST).

FSU favored by 20 over Deacs???

I know we're not playing very good football, but Wake is a 20 point underdog to FSU on Saturday. Check it out here at Bodog Sportsbook (not entirely sure you can view it in the US).

With an over/under at 63, that means the projected score is Wake 21.5 FSU 41.5. Ouch

It's really too bad this is fake
