Well, we made it down there and we made it back, and we had a good damn time while out of town. Joel, Christi, & I left out of KCMO on Friday morning around 8:30 a.m. We made it down to Blanchard Springs in the early afternoon, giving us plenty of time to set up […]

I was riding from my house to Landahl, I got caught in an uneven seam in the road, and subsequently saw the road coming to meet me very, very quickly. I ended up with a small cut on my forehead that bled with great enthusiasm, and road rash on my left cheek, left shoulder, left […]

Beginning at the beginning: Before I was old enough to do my own pedaling, I rode on the back of Mom’s bike. When I was a super-tiny Meetzorp, I had a mini-bigwheel. I also had rad tennies and stripey tube-socks. When I got a bit older, I got a tricycle. I also had a stylish […]

1. My sister is coming to visit me today (so I took the day off from work) and she’s going to try on the wedding dress I’ve been making for her. I’m excited to see her and to see how this dress looks on. She’s also bringing her young son Max, who is quite a […]

“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 […]

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 went riding on this organized around-town tour todaywith a couple of friends. Instead of tediously HTML-ing all of the pictures over here to LJ, I’m just going to point you to the photo gallery I created for this occasion. The photos are all pretty well narrarated, and anyone can leave comments either there or […]

The front wheel on my ’73 Schwinn Suburban is out of round, so until I either get a truing stand or get access to one, this bike is off the streets. I guess it happened last Thursday. I came out of work to find the front tire flat, so I changed it in the parking […]

A zillion fancy pencils…these always seemed to turn up in gifts, and I felt they were to pretty to use up. Also, they tended to be that splintery wood that doesn’t sharpen well, anyway. They were better to look at than to use, anyhow. Special delivery: eraser, par avion! The big red bag was my […]

At one point in the mid-1980s, it was fashionable, at least amongst schoolgirls, to have a long plastic chain with a bunch of little keychain/charm thingies hung on it. My sister and I never had the chain, but we had a few charms. This is one of mine. She had one just like it, but […]
