	The above picture is of my new toy, which I&#8217;ll tell you more about later, after I tell you how this whole cycling thing got into my head.

I like being at at school. Maybe I&#8217;ll go back someday.

	Click the picture of yours truly in the funny costume above to see a few more from my graduate commencement.

	P.S. To the dimwits who kept chanting &#8220;MBA, MBA!&#8221; near the end of the ceremony: Seriously guys, that was retarded.

	Yes. Tonight I will set fire to the little black notebook in which I have kept a semi-regular journal over the past five years of my life. I will incinerate half a decade&#8217;s worth of mundane, important or note-worthy personal happenings recorded the &#8220;old school&#8221; way. Ink, pen and paper.

When it comes to two-wheeled transport (or fun), my preference usually leans towards the human-powered family of machines, preferably the type intended for off-road use.
