WTF Is She Riding?
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, biking, Redline Monocog 29er on Sep 16th, 2008
So, I figure that a few bike nerds are going to look at this site and ask the question that heads up this entry. What the Eff is she riding? How did a singlespeed mountain bike become a touring rig? Why did a singlespeed mountain bike become a touring rig? Is that even legal or […]
I really want to try this
Posted in Fashion, Hair issues on Sep 15th, 2008
You know…now that I’ve almost recovered from my last disastrous hair experiment, I want to try having a perm. I know, I know…a perm? But I never had one back in the day, because back in the day I was ridiculously vain about my godawful ass-length hair and was afraid that a perm would wreck […]
More! Pants!

Front! Back! Pockets! More pockets! More, more pockets! This is my second pair of pants for the cross-country trip. They’re a durable polyester blend, same as the other pair. They’re based on the same pattern, though I eliminated one set of pockets because the other pair fits a little bunchy with that much fabric across […]
Likes long walks in the rain
Posted in Adventures, Playing With Weather, Ruby the Dog on Sep 13th, 2008
IMG_3691, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. The dog and I just got back from an epic rain ramble. She’s now napping happily under the dining table, smelly, damp, and exhausted. We found and romped in the King Daddy of all puddles today. There’s essentially a crater about 6 blocks from the house, where a large building […]

To answer both Doug and MD, there’s not a route as such. We’re taking a mid-southerly approach…probably leaving CA via Yosemite National park, then obviously we’ll cross a little Nevada, and go along northern AZ & NM (we’re going to be crossing the Four Corners area I’m pretty sure). Then we may cross through the […]

A little more about the tour:

Ruby is going to be going on an extended sleepover with her friend Nieve. In other words, our friends James and Dahlia, whom we’ll owe BIG TIME, are going to babysit the pup while we’re riding across country. Their 4-year-old son is really excited about that. Joel’s mom and Dahlia are splitting cat-sitting duties. Both […]
About that tour…
Posted in 2008 Coast-to-Coast Adventure, Adventures, biking, Redline Monocog 29er on Sep 9th, 2008
The past couple of weeks have been getting chillier; fall is setting in awfully early this year. I get up a little before 6:00 on most mornings to take the dog for an early walk so that she’ll let me make breakfast in peace. Without that walk, she’d be ramming a chew-toy against my shins […]
