So, I'm going to be a dad! Scary stuff.

    So, this is an exciting and scary time for me.  I found out on Monday that my wife, Sandi, and I are having a little girl.  She's coming to this world mid April.  I guess I should say a little about me and my little world.   I grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana and moved to Texas to finish school and start life.  I married my best friend and we now live in Austin, Texas (ATX), the best place on earth IMHO. 

    Both Sandi and I are in our late 30's and are having our first child. Sandi works for one of the big accounting firms as a consultant.  She's on the road most of the time so I get to have the bachelor lifestyle during the week...you know beer and cereal, washing colors with whites resulting in pink under clothes.  I am a government lawyer and represent the State of Texas.  I am proud of the work I do and I love the work and the people I work with. 

    When I'm not working, I'm riding my bike.  I love riding my bike.  I race most of the year.  I've been riding for a really long time but have only been racing in earnest for the past two years.  I have been lucky enough to join the best team in the state called North West Cycling Club (NWCC). NWCC is based out of Houston.  It has a rich history with over 400 club rider members and 30 or so racers.  For the first year, it was just Sandi and me in ATX NWCC pod.  Now, we have five more ATX NWCC racers.  The season won't officially start until January 2011 but we've already started with great results.

    With this blog, I want to keep record of life here in ATX for my daughter-wow, that was really odd to say and write.  I plan on reviewing rides, products, food, and life. 

   Here is our daughter.  I can't wait to meet her.  God, please don't let me screw this up.
