friends

I am now a part of Tempe. I've run into people around town - Ari, one of my couch surfing friends, at the Bicycle CoOp; I've seen some of the kids from the Ultimate turf around campus; and just today I passed Steve, Leslie's baby's daddy, riding his bike.

I have been working on my bicycles and fixed the men's version up to where it can ride. I am bringing both to San Francisco tomorrow to ride around town with Ryan Lewis. At this CoOp I have learned a lot and made some more friends with the kids involved.

I hung out last weekend with Wendy Alfonso, who graduated high school with my little sister Erin. She brought me out on the town in Scottsdale. The Saturday after that I spent time with the Tillman community meeting some of the families of the Scholars and Shawn and I hopped around Tempe passing through a few bars and hanging out with his buds (as he calls them).

And this afternoon I met Katie Ringler and Eric Iverson at Casey Moore's for a couple beers. This orchestra and band geek, respectively, are some cool cats.
They have been my best friends here and we have plans to hang out more - going to Prescott in two weekends to play another Ultimate tournament with Eric and Katie is going to come along. And I will continue to drop by the Ringler household for some mac and cheese and an occasional family night of television viewing.

In other news, I've voted. I like sticking to the B's.

I found these around Tempe.
