DSCN1168, originally uploaded by joeldyke. She adopted us this past weekend. Joel’s mom and I were looking at some pictures I’d taken from The Dimebag Show (Melissa had made a pair of carousel bookends out of re-purposed, embellished ceramic toilet-paper-holders ). Anyhow, we were looking at the pictures when Joel, who’d been doing something outside, […]

While some people were starting out on RAGBRAI, some others were riding their bikes to Roanoke Park in Kansas City and sharing a picnic supper. From the feedback I’ve gotten from various attendees, I think it’s safe to employ the old small-town-newspaper wrap-up phrase, “a good time was had by all.” It was family friendly, […]

Smallcat, who is all too cute for her own good, shows me her “good side.” On Sunday I got remarkable co-operation out of the little devil and had sufficient available light to work with so that I could get pictures of her which show off her color, markings, and generally fuzziness to good advantage without […]

Probably the image I will use on the flyer, originally uploaded by Meetzorp. You like to ride, you like to eat, and you like to socialize, right?

On Sunday, Joel and I went out to Emporia to have another go at the Dirty Kanza course. As I’d helped mark the second half of the ride (the part I didn’t get to ride during the race) I was really excited to get to see it from the saddle. We were supposed to meet […]

One of the “new” tops I bought for myself last weekend is one that I bought because it reminded me of a sweatshirt I had when I was a kid. Initially, I HATED that sweatshirt as hard as a 9-year-old could ever hate an item of clothing. Mom made me wear it to school one […]

Well, my computer has upped and died. It’s not a big shock nor surprise – it had been acting shaky and shady for a while, and it hadn’t been built by a professional initially anyhow. So, the ol’ beast finally went toes-up. Because I had an inkling this day would be coming sooner rather than […]

Because I skipped a few too many days of posting and now I have all sorts of random everything to get down. So. 1. I stayed home sick from work on Friday. I got this weird cold from Joel that seemed to go in reverse, starting with a nasty cough and winding up with stifling […]

1. Confession time! (oh, this is going to be fun!) I sometimes confuse or conflate various celebrities or famous people, because I don’t follow their doings closely and maybe they look kind of alike, or have similar names. For example, I can’t ever keep David Duchovny & George Clooney straight in my mind. Back in […]

Yeah, the winter blah’s have set in on me, which is why it has now taken me nearly three days to post a weekend wrapup consisting of a couple of paragraphs, a couple of photographic links, and not much else. I can’t shake this hibernatin’ feeling. So, on with the entry I started writing on […]
