Yesterday at work, on my lunch break, I found a GIGANTIC cicada sitting on the sidewalk, just chillin’ in its honkin’-big-bug fashion. Well, I had concerns that the chitinous fellow might get squashed there, so I stooped down to pick him up and move him. One of my co-workers was across the street, waiting for […]

I’m chock full of happy. I’ve got myself a project bike and it’s so stinkin’ cool. It’s a 1970-something Schwinn Suburban ladies’ bike. (*snerk* I’m planning on going around telling people I just got a Suburban). It’s right now half stripped in my living room; I’ve got everything off I could get off with an […]

Good tidings to all y'all! Happy Friday, everyone. Today's the last day ever for me to have to go to work at 6:00 a.m., and in celebration, let's rock out to some AC/DC. I'm finally off the early rotation. For those about to rock, I salute you! Here's hoping everyone's got a fine weekend ahead […]

I am buzzed right now, in a pretty major, but mellow wway. The Wednseday night group ride I ‘d beeen going on since like mid-May is dead, I think. Once again, the ride leader was no-show. In fact, nobody showed up, except me, so I soloed tonight. I took Rockhill until it ended, somewhere around […]

I participated in my first race ever today, the Cliff Drive circuit race. 11 miles (four loops through Cliff Drive/Gladstone Blvd). It was…interesting. I went out in the Women’s Beginners class. There were 9 of us. We started a minute after the Men’s Beginner class (there were about 40 of them) and a minute before […]

Reasons why it sucked to have the back office to myself today: 1. I literally had to do everything. Any calls, I had to answer them, any requests for plans, I had to retrieve them, anybody needed supplies, I had to find them, any paperwork that came in, I had to file it. 2. I […]

So, after work, I did my usual thing of heading down to Westport to meet up with the folks I go riding with on Wednesday nights. Since the weather’s been so crazy hot, the last few times, the group has been small–in some cases, just the ride leader and me. So I show up, and […]

I was coming back downstairs to my desk this morning, after collecting the day’s paperwork and my morning cup of coffee, and I realized that, “hmm, some plain chocolate M&Ms would taste really good.” Plain chocolate M&Ms are probably my favorite common, easy-to-find candy. The only problem is that they’re not that easy to find […]

I’ve been lousy about updating lately. So, in the grand spirit of “Day Late, Dollar Short,” I’ll tell ya about yesterday. Pretty much the highlight of yesterday was the Urban Exploration ride out of Acme Bicycles. It’s always a good time–you never know who will come or where we’ll end up. I rolled up just […]
