Early Morning Mountain Biking

I've been up at 5am nearly every morning this week-mostly becuase I find the day goes better when I'm up early. Bu ttis morning instead of housechores and work, I'm going mountain biking. I hope to be in the foothills overlooking Boise by the time the sun comes up. Just another thing I love about Idaho in the summer.

Also:

1) We have a contract signed for our house in Atlanta. Real blessing because it is a couple we somewhat know who have a heart for the inner city, our current rental lease was almost up, and we still get equity out of the house despite the current seller's market.

2) We bought a 91 Toyota Previa with 200k miles for $1700. We have the bench seat and this thing is a near perfect family vehicle. 200k miles is about midlife for this vehicle.

3) I made it through my first experience of layoffs in the semiconductor industry. It's a wild ride. Wall Street loves to hear about layoffs-really backwards. More on that later.
