Well, the time has finally come to let the Burley go. It’s a damn sweet bike, but it’s just not right for me. The fit isn’t quite on, and it just doesn’t really work with the way I ride. So, if you’re short and like an elegant and zippy steel road bike AND a good […]

When I was still kind of getting acquainted with my camera, I tended to shoot at the smallest picture setting, being of the understanding that this was the “web friendly” size. Also, you could get more pictures on the card at a whack, and I had a TINY 16mb card at the time. Anyhow, because […]

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 […]

Yesterday Christi and I went on a side-streets exploration ride in the West Bottoms. We had no big agenda, just being outside and riding our bikes was all that was planned. Since were were just kind of exploring and taking our time, it wasn’t any big problem for me to stop and take pictures whenever […]

Well, I may technically fail NaBloPoMo on account of not posting each of the entries I’m going to write during my stay in New Orleans, but I will write nightly my impressions of the trip, and I’ll get them up online when I get home. Since I’ve been having to tote this portly laptop all […]

Today was largely a free-day, with the exception of a span of time in the evening during the event Grand Opening when we had to man the booth and start spreading the good word. The Grand Opening was a total zoo, but more about that later. Today, mostly, I had free rein to roam around […]

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 […]

This was the comment one of my highschool classmates made to me one day at school when I showed up wearing my Dr. Seuss Sweater (pictured below), a black miniskirt, mustard yellow leggings, and a yellow bandanna in my hair. It was an outfit carefully chosen to be as visually offensive as possible, so when […]

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 […]

I’m going as the Ghost of Fashion Indescretions Past this coming Halloween. It’s overall going to be pretty easy. I had some embarasing old clothes around from my highschool days of the mid 1990s, I can still see out of my glasses from back then and I have absolutely no sense of shame whatsoever. There’s […]
