As the clock begins to count down

I am sitting here writing this after spending most of the day preparing to prepare for my next season on the road. Now you ask, just what do you mean "preparing to prepare?" I went through all my clothes, to figure out what I would need to keep around for the next season of traveling and what I would donate to Goodwill. Since I have been meaning to do this for a long time. Especially since I am the type of person who like to keep just a handful of different shirts and wear them most of the time with a couple pairs of shorts and a pair of pants or two. Now, I don't mean wear them all at once just keep the "wardrobe" simple. Less laundry this way.
Along with regular clothing, I have come across some older cycling/triathlon related wear that I forgot about and brought back some good memories, that I will have to figure out what to do with. When going through the "stuff" under my bed I found that there was enough paper from various projects, college papers, etc, to fill a recycling bin. Along with that I have had a chance to go through my book collection from past years of School and other area of learning and figure out what I should keep, just in case I end up on the doorstep of a University/College looking to gain my Masters.
Other projects that were started today were to figure out how I was going to get from the airport in L.A. in a week and a half to where the team would be staying for camp mid January. I received a phone call from one of the guys on the team saying he could pick me up, so I am set there. Also trying to figure out what would be better to fly my bike or send it ahead of myself via the mail, ups/FedEx. So if you have any suggestions let me know.
The Laudry was started and hopefully finished today.

Check back for more updates.
