Goodbye Lance....

And so I send my final farewell, my idol's career has come to an end. This year's tour was one for the ages, with Lance winning his 7th consecutive tour victory. I was sad, two Sunday's ago, when I watched Lance race his last stage of the Tour De france live, but all good things must come to an end, and I'm glad that he left his career coming out on top. As he said in his recent interviews on Charlie Rose and OLN, his career may be over, but the 2005 Tour de France is not the last time we will see Lance Armstrong. He still has a 2 year contract with Discovery Channel and will be highly involved with the team and all of their races, not to mention all of the work he will have at the foundation (LAF) and with his 10//2 clothing line at Nike. Most importantly he will be busy spending time with Sheryl and his kids.

I'd like to apologize if some of you feel like I've alienated you or haven't had much contact with you during the month of July. As most of you know July is Tour month and I was pretty devoted to watching Lance and the team along with being busy at work. I will be much more accessible now that the Tour is over, lol.

As far as whats new, workin Monday through Thursday this week all day. I've been packing up each night for Copper Beech. I am leaving tomorrow morning at around 8am with my sister to head up to Mt. P for the first time in about 2 months. I'm super pumped to see what our place is like at Copper Beech and to see all the guys again. All I can say is 2000 square feet is going to be freakin schweeet.

For next week, I'm going to have to try and get out to see Jared before he heads off to Denmark and also out to see Laura because that trip is much overdue.

The summer is sure flying by, but I'm excited to get back up to school to see everyone. I definitley am going to miss being around Northville here and the shop but I'm sure I'll come back on some weekends and during Christmas time to work.

For today, just working till 8 and then finishing up packing for Mt. P and driving up early tomorrow..sorry for the late update and look for another one possibly later next week, peace ya'll.
