Three Workouts and Beads For Blood

Let’s start with the three workouts. This time between Thanksgiving and New Years is a crazy one for me. My projects have picked up a bit (independent of the time of year, but having an effect on my time nonetheless), there’s Christmas shopping to accomplish, my wife and I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of our marriage tomorrow (Friday), there are kids’ Christmas singing programs, dance programs and all manners of other family events. If posting gets slow, it’s not because I don’t love you all anymore.

Beads For Blood

I’ve written about my uncle, Mark Siddle, and his custom motorcycle shop, Cutting Edge Cycles, here before. (Also here, near the end.)

On Saturday 6 February 2010, Cutting Edge Cycles will be hosting a Mardi Gras-themed blood drive: Beads for Blood. Uncle Mark’s mother had a series of medical issues last year during which she benefited greatly from blood in blood banks. Time to give back.

If you’re in the St. Louis area, this would be a great time to come out and see his custom-built bikes, see what he could do for your bike if you already have one, and give blood for a good cause. Also, no promises, but knowing the kinds of people who frequent his store, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if blood wasn’t the only thing for which beads were being distributed (if that’s your thing).
