Harry Potter craze, biking, climbing, and itchiness

Posted July 13th, 2009 in , ,

The last few days have been - well, let’s just say, they could have been better. A horribly annoying rash broke up on my bum/groin, which prompted me to go to the doctor, get a cortisone shot, and get some Vanos - i.e. a $450 tube of steroid cream - prescribed. Thank goodness for my sweet insurance package with Pluck. The rash has mostly gotten better, at least in the area it started in, but I’ve found other spots popping up. Will this ever go away? I blame this on the bouldering and swimming trip we took to Rogers Park…

I finally got a bike!

After months and months (well, arguably years) of talking about getting a bike, I can finally say that I’m not all talk. Last night I hit up Sun & Ski and bought myself a Marin Kentfield FS hybrid:

I haven’t had a chance to ride it yet (except for the few minutes I rode it around the parking lot yesterday), but hopefully it’ll become my main transportation option soon. I’m super excited that I’ll get to bike to work, ultimate practices and games, ACL, etc. etc. Yay!

Nevermind the fact that I’ve only ridden a bike three times in the past 20…
