On my way home from work today, I rode past some very busy fireworks stands in the West Bottoms. If you know Kansas City, you might know about James Street and the half dozen or so semi-abandond buildings that become explosives emporia in the week leading up to Independence day. Being as today is The […]

it’s worth doing really badly. I shaved my legs last night after posting pictures that exposed their excessive prickliness and in the course of doing so managed to scrape off about a square inch of ankle-epidermis. They really don’t make band-aids big enough, you know? The standard size ones, the gauze pad is only about […]

I’m not sure if I’m just a lousy cyclist, or if there’s a certain proportion of falling-over-per-mile that every cyclist averages and I’m simply fulfilling my quota. One way or another, I seem to be entering another of my streaks of wreckage, kicked off by a little offroad falling-over out at Lawrence when we got […]

Home Despot inspires a particularly delirious delusional state in me. I think it’s the fact that you can find pretty much everything there with which to make or destroy your average house and all of its accessory structures and miscellaneous appurtenances. A few years ago, I required a crowbar, as one does. So I hied […]

I decided to not do the Dirty Kanza 200 this year. As it turns out, I really didn’t have that much fun the last two times I did it, and for pity’s sake, riding 200 miles alone on the dusty dirt roads of the Ass-Back of Kansas is optional. So, I’ve decided that I’m going […]

I guess if you catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror in the work restroom and think, “who the fuck is that douchebag?” you’ve probably pretty much failed your fashion check for the day. I realized about midway through the day today that I dressed like a complete asshole and felt sheepish for the […]

And really bad at coming up with titles for blog entries. But there it is…my mundane superpower is probably being able to sleep in really odd places. Age 15 – took a 2 hour nap on the basement staircase at my grandparents’ house after enduring a 22-hour ride all hunkered up in the backseat of […]

Right now, I am in possession of some seriously ratty underwear. The problem is not that I am in some way incapable of procuring new underwear; I am not in need of any underpants-based charity. The problem stems principally from my accursed absent-mindedness. (Also my twisted sense of logic and detest for wastefulness) Where to […]
