My little sister and her sweetie tied the knot this past weekend. I’m going to try to recap, but I think the expression on my sister’s face in the following picture will say pretty much everything that I am not articulate enough to write. First dance together as a married couple. In fact, I think […]

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 […]

“Seriously, I am not joking. If I had the money, this is the tattoo I would get. On my arm, right here, I’d get a life-sized corndog. With a bite taken out of it. And there would be a GIANT silverfish crawling out of the bite.” – Justin E. “Can you make me a hat…out […]

So. Do you know what 70+ bicycles parked in front of a bar looks like? It looks about like how the world ought to work. the photo heading this entry was taken just prior to the mass start. We all laid our bikes down in the parking lot (it’s traditional) and lined up against the […]

The ACME Night of the Living Dead poker run was on Sunday. Yet another outing for the bloomer suit. I rolled up a little after 8:00 but luckily other folks were still filtering in, and the crowd present was still tucking into Sarah and Christie’s vegetarian chili they had all steamy and spicy on Christie’s […]

Crossposted to . I had a VAST lot of fun Friday night. I went to my first ever Alleykat, and it was madness! This one wasn’t a distance pick-and-drop course, nor a scavenger hunt. This was drag racing. We had two-block one-on-one sprints. It was also drag races in the sense that men wore dresses/skirts/lots […]

I’m going to go play tonight. Bicycle Drag Races, out by Acme and Grinder’s. 2-block sprints. All guys must wear dresses or skirts, all girls must sport facial hair of some description. I’ll be back tonight or early tomorrow with pictures and a write up. I’m excited. This is liable to be a pretty fun […]

I meant to do a write-up of last night’s Critical Mass, but by the time I got home, made supper, and drank a beer, I was too tired to do much of anything, so I went to bed. Anyway, last night’s CM was marvelous–the best in months! The last really big one we had here […]

Yesterday’s party seems to have gone over well; everyone seemed to enjoy the bratwurst, veggie burgers, and bullshitting session, so yay, us! I may get it together to throw another shindig of some sort in August or something. Next time, there will be ketchup. In other notes, I have a metric shit-ton of little baggies […]

When I was a kid, I was fascinated with Fin de siecle Victorian history. The wondrous fashions, the absolutist conviction that progress was good and splendid, the florid literary styles–the whole darn thing fascinated me. I was a big fan of the Little House books, because they covered the life of a young pioneer girl […]
