A New Cyclery in Town

Posted on November 12, 2019 by

Posted on January 24, 2019 by

My morning routine is pretty set. After showering and shaving, and before I feed the cat, I try my best to enjoy my breakfast (which includes coffee) while listening to the radio.  Though they had stopped the practice for a … Continue reading →

Ridiculousness Achieved

Posted on April 14, 2018 by

I am not a whiner about winter, but c’mon.  It’s April 14th.  I woke up to bird sounds when I looked to see if they had delivered the newspaper or not.  Birds were singing.  I took that as a pretty … Continue reading →

Kerouac Found Me

Posted on January 12, 2018 by

Indulging

Posted on August 20, 2017 by

Yesterday’s Perfect Moment was a bit of indulgence. After a morning of doctor appointments which only yielded further appointments, and a fruitless search at the library for something to read, I was ready for indulgence. I shouldn’t whine too much. … Continue reading →
