insignificant

radio silence lately. i just haven't felt much like posting my typical blog fodder while our friends are going through the ringer. kirk is making slow and methodical improvements and it appears that his personality may be intact. he has a long road ahead of him but he is already able to sit up and work his iphone... so the necessities (i'd enter a smiley emoticon here but emoticons suck). he has progressed a lot more rapidly than anyone thought possible but there is still so much more progress to be made.

as for me, well for a while my emotional response was to mope around and feel really sad for them. and while i do still feel for them on an almost constant basis, i came to the realization that me acting sad all the time was useless. it's not helping kirk or peggy. it's not helping robin. and it is certainly not helping me. so i've been trying to live life a little more full in kirk's honor. like taking care of things now rather than putting them off for another day. and enjoying the company of my family. and doing the things i love to do. like on sunday. i rode on the sw commuter and capital city trails for 2 hours and they were snowy but it was warm enough to not be too slick (i only fell once).

i tackled the job i've been dreading (for some reason)...shortening my rear brake line and bleeding the system. i'm having a hell of a time aligning the brake pads but all in all it wasn't so bad after all. i'm rambling... i guess that is what happens when i don't post in over a week.

happy tuesday.
