This is a 1953 Schwinn Debutante. It is a rather elegant old beast, wouldn't you say? I can assure you, it's impossible not to feel cute riding around on an elegant old cruiser like the one pictured above. Sometimes, I think I'm the beneficiary of serendipity, especially when income tax refunds and cool shit from […]

You never know what You Tube will turn up. I'd listened to a few other songs by this woman before. She once did a kind of mean, shirty song about stealing another girl's boyfriend, but then she turns around and does this: Music can be so much…it can be all raunchy, or angry, or just […]

But if you haven't seen/heard Alanis Morrissette covering “My Humps,” you need to. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZw-8RSyvh8] Thank you, and good day.

On Friday I got a copy of the Pointer Sisters' first album (it's self titled) and quite frankly, I can't see why I didn't own a copy sooner. This is a really great album…not a dud on it. Anyone who can should go and get hold of a copy and enjoy the heck out of […]

Okay, maybe I need a kick in the head, but I did get another bike. For F-R-E-E-E. And you must admit, Hurcules is awfully pretty. Hercules was a little too small for Brian, so he gave Herk to me. I’m a lucky gal! (That is Brian in the picture, not me) Hercules is a 52cm, […]

I had a problem. I was issued a Department Polo Shirt at the office, and it fit me about as well as a Tuffy bin liner. The embroidery company only offered our preferred type of shirt in a men's style. Over half the workgroup are women. Needless to say, there are more than a few […]

And my cat gave me the filthiest look. I guess Grizzo just doesn't appreciate an off-key rendition of “Love Shack.” [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T8NhJNpQlsY]

Joel and I went down to Arkansas this past weekend. He was racing in the Ouachita Challenge, and I was just up for a trip out of town, a little camping, a little trail, and a bit of exploration. We left town Friday night; I rode my little green singlespeed over to the shop, and […]

This picture has nothing to do with anything other than I think pigeons are kind of cute and their voices are soothing. I took this picture on my lunch break today. Yesterday, I rode home from work with my jacket tied around my waist, like the big girls (highschool girls) used to do in the […]

I recognise that I am nuts. I towed home my singlespeed on a BOB trailer today…Joel and I did some light tinkering last night…new bars and brake levers, and I needed to get it home on the off chance that the weather is acceptable for racing tomorrow. I am continually amazed at the capacities of […]
