Thanks all for the birthday wishes, despite not having posted in a while.
Actually, I have been lurking a bit - I drop in at least to check IOTD.
Life's been ok though - I'm waiting to hear back from MBA schools (fingers crossed for NYU or Columbia), and a few months ago I started dating a terrific gal who I am pretty sure is the one. It's been a good start to 2008.
And for you roadies ... here's my birthday present to myself:
The frame is used (carbon/alum hybrid; 2006 model), but in fantastic condition. I got a new Ultegra setup and Truvativ cranks, but I cheaped out on the wheels and bought a pair of Mavic Askiums (clearance at the bike shop).
