Yep, my company ceased there HIV program yesterday, which in turn left me and 75% of the company out of a job.
What do you do when you get news like this? Shit....you head to sals.
After receiving the bad news directly from the CEO (the former white house advisor on AIDS Policy)a few of my newly separated brothers in arms made our way to the Rockbottom brewery in the KOP mall to toast our time togther..the company didnt rush us out but we opted to get out of there as fast as possible, there were a lot of people who didn't take the news so well and we needed to give them some space.
As my brothers and sisters sipped there beautifully handcrafted ales I sipped on a diet coke.....I knew it was early....and I knew sals was waiting for me.
On my way to sals I phoned my dad in NY and told him about the news...he asked me "where are you headed" I responded "I am heading to sals" which he then proceeded to laugh.....well i got to St lukes and as soon as I clipped in to my pedals dave rolled up...we headed out for a lap, dave went on his way to do some trail recon, I linked up with bob and Joe G. we started to roll and then ran into Doug and Greg.....
The weather was perfect, the trails were perfect and the company was perfect..... thanks guys...a lot of people had a really bad day yesterday, I had a pretty good one.
