Funemployment has come to an end

I popped into Midwest Cyclery this past week for a visit and sit down with owner/operator Bob Albright. I was looking for a job and I'd heard that Midwest was looking of a good employee. Bob seemed to like what I had to say although I'm sure it helped that I had several people rallying for me to work there.
And I'm pleased to announce that now I do.
After my 4 month hiatus from employment I'm excited to get back to work in a bike shop. More so for one that wants to benefit from my years of experience and my eagerness to work.

Midwest Cyclery opened its doors in 1973.

At one point in time they had 7 locations in the greater Kansas City area. Midwest moved to its current location a year ago after many years in Westport.

Bob decided to abandon the Westport location after the building had fallen into disrepair and the landlord seemed unwilling to fix.

Funny enough the 3850 Main location is the same spot (at least the same corner) where Midwest was back in the 80's.
Its a sweet corner space with two levels. Most of the showroom is on the ground floor with the repair area down stairs.

Midwest is old school style bike shop with lots of history and I am eager to get in and get to work. Its a great location, with more potential than I think even Bob realizes.
Bob is excited to have me there, I'm excited to be there & we are looking forward to a great spring.
Come see us at 39th and Main!

Sunday morning

Woke up later than expected feeling very tired. Figured I would make some coffee and lay in bed and read. That was the plan until I discovered that was out of coffee. So I dressed and did a quick 5 mile time trial to the market and back.
Coffee brewed and breakfast cooked.


















My new Obama t-shirt arrived in the mail the other day.
Obamunism....It gave me a giggle and I am digging all over it.
Inauguration day is Tuesday!




















Speaking of Obama. Caught a press conference of some sort on TV the other night.
Dig the dude in the back ground. I think I found my new idol. Nice stache sir!









Just remember... "Guns don't kill people. Guys with mustaches do."








Gonna go spend the afternoon with these people... the Wisely family, i.e. my sister, her hubby and kids.


Its one of the girls birthdays. The problem is I don't remember which one.
There are 5 choose from so you can see how I might get confused.
Guess I will have to fake it until I know for sure.
I'm a bad uncle.
