1.3 Billion - here I come!

Tonight I leave on a jet plane to the world's most populous country, China! I will be adventuring for a few weeks through Beijing -> Xi'ian -> Shanghai -> Yangtze River -> Hong Kong, and everywhere in between. I hope to update my blog often in route, but we'll see how ubiquiteous wifi is. I am so excited to eat the food, smell the air, meet the people, shop in the cities, venture in the country, and explore!

Here's to a great trip!

The verdict is still out on this one...

OITNB

Netflix is really ramping up their original series lately, with House of Cards of course (on of my all time favs), and now Orange is the New Black! If you haven't seen it yet, go watch now! Here are some my fav leading ladies.

Gettin' it

Fall must be here because the kickoff to cyclocross season began this past Sunday. Here are a few pics of my sweetie, doing what he does best, gettin' it.

Darren and Uncle Lincoln neck-in-neck.

Here's to a great season!
