I said something recently about writing more frequently…and once again I did a lot of fun stuff, didn’t write about it, built up a backlog of postable material, got overwhelmed, and will be babbling forth a disjointed and photo-heavy entry…AGAIN. So. We went to Nebraska this past weekend-ish. We left town Halloween night, did a [...]

So yesterday evening, Joel was off to Kung Fu class, and I was considering my options of leftovers from the fridge, maybe re-watching one of our DVDs, and finishing up cutting out this suit jacket I’ll be working on one of these days. As I was just about to have a rummage around the fridge, [...]

The formidable prow of my trashboat veered toward a parked car. I corrected, and the whole thing lurched toward the oncoming lane. I corrected again and nearly lumbered straight into the curb in my own lane. I could see that this was going to be a very long half mile ahead of me, and I [...]

and miraculously not deeper in debt. Well, yesterday was my birthday, so I guess I’m now officially 32, though I’ve been telling people I was 32 for about the past 3 months. I have a longstanding habit of rounding up whenever my birthday is nearish. I think it may track back to the childish habit [...]

I rode the Redline to work today to make sure that all is in good order for the Dirty Kanza, which is only days away at this point. All, indeed, is. That bike is such a pleasure and a joy to ride in any of its many guises. For the upcoming weekend, it’s done up [...]

This past weekend was quite the social whirlwind. To start with on Friday night, the Frank Stallone boys had all sorts of shindigs going on. They did another roller race at the Cellar Rat, then rolled over to ACME to run a charity alleycat to raise money for Diabetes research! We didn’t get in on [...]

When all of the dogs are horizontal, you know that a good time has been had by all. Apparently, we were on the ground floor of a trend amongst our social circle of taking in abandoned puppies. Our friends Julie & Tracey took in a stray Rottweiler/GSD pup about two weeks ago. His name is [...]

I had a pretty significant day on the bike today. I had a lot of errands to run, and I took the long route, so to speak, because I really needed to blow out the cobwebs. I think I got in the riding mode on Sunday night; Team Frank Stallone‘s Westport Roadie Douche Crit was [...]

After Joel’s gonzo recap of Saturday’s pub crawl, there ain’t much I can say so instead I am going to let my pictures do most of the talkin’ What? You don’t park your bike this way? Wrong Right! Jill & Wade show us how it’s done. I think it’s a nice touch that Jill’s beer [...]
