With all the storms that buffeted California this month, especially the week before last, I wanted desperately to get my miles done. There were days when I couldn’t ride because of high winds. There were days when I couldn’t ride because it was raining cats and dogs. And there was one day when I broke […]
Congratulations, Kirsti. My favorite person in all of Colorado has been officially accepted to study at Naropa. Big heartfelt congratulations. I’m proud of you.
Yesterday, a few hours after I finished my bus ride home from Forward, my brother called me. Grandma had been on her treadmill and had falled off, shattering her right shoulder. She spent the next two hours getting to the phone to call someone. Today, I called my uncle and talked to him for a […]
Last Friday, I went to the UNEAQ party in San Francisco. Since the members of band are friends of mine, I headed south for their shindig in San José at The Bamboo Lounge. After today’s fifty mile bike ride, I wasn’t really much in a mood to dance (primarily because I was pretty sore), but […]
The storms spared me for most of this week, failing only on Monday to ride my miles. Despite the lack of rain, it was chilly all week—chilly enough that I had to wear my shell on the commute home every day. The cycling shell acts as a parachute on fast rides home—my average speed tends […]
Lately, I’ve had a routine for my Saturday rides on which I almost always ride exactly the same route every time. Usually, that’s because I’ve stayed up late on Friday night, gotten up about 10 or 11 in the morning, and eaten lunch late enough that I have to push to complete my mileage by […]
For the first time in five years, I’ve been to 1015, the San Francisco superclub on every tourist’s clubbing list—but also on every local househead’s avoid list. Last night’s party, Forward, featured an astonishing lineup that simply could not be missed. I received a $10 pass from Adnan and jumped on the Caltrain to check […]
Playing around with WordPress 1.5 on my local and work machines convinced me that it was about time to upgrade. So, this morning, before you got up, I did. It took almost ten minutes (my pipe must have been slow this morning). WordPress 1.5 has lots of nifty new features, including managing non-post pages in […]
Today was the first day since Thursday, the tenth, that I commuted the full ride both to and from work. The low-pressure system now moving toward Mexico parked off the California coast for more than a week, slinging storm after storm through the Bay Area. I caught a short break in the constant downpours last […]
I decided, a little over a week ago, to listen to every playlist in my iPod (I have the original five gig iPod without the dock connector). There are 63 playlists. I’m listening to them in order and, so far, I’m down to Freak Gardening Accident. There are, in alphabetical order (* denotes artists or […]
