A few random thoughts...

So I am mailing out some more letters to all my lucky family and friends who may or may not even know who I am :P but I guess that's the nature of fundraising... I got a couple envelops back sometime over break since I apparently can't seem to be able to copy addresses down properly... and plain forgot to include some people in my vast switching of lists around (I seriously have 3 or 4 lists of people on my computer). So if you were for some reason, attuned to this blog, but didn't get a letter from me and I know your address, don't despair, one is coming shortly.

I'd like to send some thanks to Tony and Susan Knowles, Charlie Sassara and Siri Moss, Martin and Deborah Hansen and Chris McGinnis and Jackie Loree for their donations! :D In total I'm a little over three quarters the way there! Seems like my bike will be coming the upcoming weeks too!

Last night I got my race bike out and made sure everything still works, and then overnight we got a nice snow storm in Hanover... well so much for bike season starting.

It looks like I'll be doing three race weekends this spring: The Boston Beanpot Classic in two weeks, the UVM races the next week and Eastern Championships in Hanover the week after. It will be fun and good preparation for biking across country.

Hey, I can smile now

Just an update on everything for all those who wondering what I'm doing. I have recovered well from my wisdom teeth removal. I can eat most foods and I just have a little pain at the suture spots. I also would like to thank the Radoniches, Grandpa and Grandma Moxness, and Marian Fenimore for their generous donations. Now I'm heading off back to Dartmouth for Spring Term and preparing for Bike and Build.

The donations are coming!

I'd like to thank some people who recently gave me donations: The Comptons, Siri Moss, my Aunt Elizabeth, my Aunt Donna, and anyone who recently gave a donation that hasn't popped in the Bike and Build servers yet. With their donations and my own money, I have reached a donation total of $1321, only $2679 left. Just an update on me. I got my wisdom teeth removed today so I won't be doing anything in the near future. It's soup and smoothies for me now.

Thanks to all who have donated, I am really excited for this trip and thanks for helping make it happen.

Thanks!!!

I just wanted to say thanks to all my friends on facebook who have, or will be donating through my little application on my profile. I would also like to thank Susan and David Anstine, my first mail in donation, as well as my adviser David Ehrlich, the second donation. :) This is really exciting now that donations are coming in. For all my friends in Alaska, I am coming home tomorrow night until Monday the 24th. So yeah, thanks to Elizabeth and Anne for donating, there are possibly more but they are the only ones who've told me.

Thanks again to everyone who is donating! And if you have any questions feel free to e-mail me at anson@dartmouth.edu.

Yay biking, and yay going home to Alaska!
