But before I get on with the recaps from Sunday, I’d like to draw your attention to a new blog in town – Team Sexypants, authored by none other than Big Grin himself, joEL! His header image is a picture I took of him one of the nights we were camping out during our weekend […]

For those of you who are entirely at a loss, perhaps this will clear things up.

My current job falls roughly within the realms of “PR and Marketing.” Technically I’m in communications, though mostly what I do is business-writing, which suits me fine. Because the work that I do fits best in the pigeonhole marked “PR and Marketing,” I occasionally receive fliers and professional publications from the real PR and Marketing […]

When I go to Joel’s house, I frequently take this strange little bike/pedestrian bridge across the Kaw River. It’s a great little cut-across which eliminates a pretty nasty convergence of two interstate ramps and three surface streets. It’s also got some nifty artwork on it. Randy Niere, a friend and fellow photographing bike nut, has […]

Because I have not had time to finish my scanning and write the real entries I want to post. Here’s some more stuff that was lurking in the back of my photo album. By rights it should have been lurking in my sticker book (anyone who was a little girl in the 1980s knows of […]

I was going through my old photo album for an upcoming entry, and discovered a magazine clipping I had saved when I was a kid. The copyright is 1986, which means I was 9 when I cut this thing out. Back then I was entranced with anything that seemed “old-fashioned” so I really dug these […]

You really shouldn’t miss this page. It is an archive of old print ads such as you would have encountered in any mainstream magazine between the 1930s and 1970s in the USA.  I am adding this link to my Nifty Stuff page, too, because I believe it is extremely nifty. While I was at it, […]

torrid.com is the place to go. That is if you are an over 6′ size 12. As you will see, they work pretty darn well on the ectomorphic build. Photo Credit to Roger Harrison of Lanterne Rouge Cycling Joel and one of his co-workers, Dean, hit upon the notion of a team costume: “patient” and […]

(and endlessly funny) Behold LOL METAL! It’s like the dark, spoooooky, METAL version of icanhascheesburger. I’ve been kind of fascinated with LOLcats and similar photo-manipulations since Belinda at ninjapoodles.com did a few LOL poodles featuring her ham of a dog Delta (and a few other pets, to be fair). I’d been vaguely aware of LOLcritters […]

Why the hell not? I don’t do anything in the wintertime, which is when the heaviest practising takes place, and I obviously need a new way to hurt myself. Of course, there’s no guarantee I’d get on the team, but I think with regular practice between now and the official tryouts, I could get to […]
