Alcatraz is three days away!
Posted by gg on April 29, 2010 in Training
I’ve been terribly remiss in maintaining this blog. Lots of reasons out there: a new (and fabulous) girlfriend, a heavy dose of training, an expansion of territory under my direction at work, and issues with my building (I’m president of the condo association).
