On The Road

by on Sep 19, 2011

Calvin’s Dad’s response when asked about cyclists’ rights. {Cartoon}

by on Sep 17, 2011

Calvin’s Dad FTW. Eight bucks a gallon? Half the world already pays it—and yet their economies still hum along.

Still, as long as politicians don’t get the support they need to push [...]

This video made my day. Time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time. ~ Bertrand Russell I’ve been a bit sick for a week plus, tired, sleepy, burnt out a bit…a little low. But there’s no rest for the wicked, so I spend my night blogging. Luckily, my dog Red cheered me up by acting [...]


Bicycle Accident. {True Story}

by on Sep 6, 2011

I’m alive was my first conscious thought as I peeled my face off the cement and spit a mouthful of blood onto the ground.
My senses felt like they were raging at superhero levels—except that I was blind.
The words ‘I’m in shock right now’ repeated inside my head ominously like an emergency broadcast service announcement.

Woke 7 am, worked briefly, showered, pumped up tires at Robbie Stout’s, coffee n’Noosa yogurt n’granola in North Boulder at Spruce Confections, powered up Jamestown, gorgeous small relaxed mountain town…stood in coooold river water while puppies mawled each other playfully, sped down, slogged up Lee Hill (saw the below sign), [...]

The Secret Life of the American Parent.

by on Jul 24, 2011

First off, let me say we hoped for you. We prayed for you. And when we knew you were coming, we rubbed the buddha belly, felt you kick and imagined what you would look like. Some of us went to great lengths to have you, had surrogates, or adopted. We were also scared. A couple of kids, at any age…what did we know about parenting?

Then you were here. A small thing, with a red face and star-fish hands. So peaceful. Until about week three, when you became very angry that your womb was gone. We stayed up every night, rocking and consoling you, helpless to ease your suffering, helpless to ease our own suffering.

Love and Flat Tires

by on Jul 7, 2011

Last night I dreamt that my bike tires went flat. In the typical manner of vivid dreams, an exaggerated swoosh of air accompanied my slow-motion stop. Immobilized and awkward, I felt both anxiety-ridden about slowing down the group and fearful of being left behind. In real life, I am an uncoordinated bike riding novice (see: [...]
