During the non-snow months, I try to spend as much time outdoors as I can. I play softball from April until November and would probably play year round if I could find a league that played in the winter. Unfortunately, all of the leagues think it is a good idea to avoid winter leagues because we would lose the ball in the snow. With access to the lakefront trail, I bike much more these days, but still have not upgraded to a road bike. I think it is mainly because I haven't been able to talk myself into wearing all of the required spandex.

I started my professional career as a bag boy/shopping cart herder at a local grocery store. The skill, stress, and intellectual challenges were just too much for me; I quit after a week. A few college degrees later and I have netted myself a much easier job as a software engineer at an awesome company downtown.
