Straight Edge Life

As any mac geek will know already Steve Jobs recently survived surgery to remove a cancer from his pancreas. Well, it’s now time to wish good stuff towards another Steve. Steve Davee, my extremely good friend, an avid bike racer who broke his collar bone on Saturday while riding trails in Oakridge, Oregon this weekend. Steve races around the year. Cyclo-cross, Mountain and Road. He’s completely dedicated to racing and I’m sure the next 6 weeks aren’t going to be easy for him as he recovers. He’s also an avid reader of this site, so if you’ve got any get well soon messages, or better yet, tricks for keeping from going nuts while housebound, please send them his way by commenting on this entry.

As a quick sidenote… I suspect he’ll be back on his bikes before too long though. If I can find it… I have a photo somewhere of Steve in a foot cast climbing stone down at the local crag only a few days after taking a bad lead fall and injuring his ankle pretty badly. He said the cast edged really well, so who knows, maybe he’ll find some obscure advantage to having a busted collar bone.

Get well soon Steve. Otherwise you’ll end up a pale geek like me.
