Posted on January 5, 2019 by

New Sheets

Posted on July 18, 2016 by

I had planned to downplay Today’s Perfect Moment.  I had started to write something like an apology before I even got to the topic.  Something like “Today’s Perfect Moment is not that amazing”–but I’ve used that opening before.  Not only … Continue reading →

Next Year, for Sure….Maybe

Posted on June 5, 2016 by

Posted on February 26, 2016 by

Commuting Gets Surreal

Posted on January 27, 2016 by

2015 in a nutshell

Posted on January 1, 2016 by

On the Blogs First off, I want to thank everyone who visited my blog in 2015. Though I wrote slightly more than half the posts I wrote in 2014, I had twice as many page views.  While some of that … Continue reading →

When a Big Group Shows Up to Ride

Posted on August 25, 2015 by

This weekend’s ride featured something a bit different for me. Instead of the five or six riders in the “slow” group, there were eleven of us. It was great for the club to see such a big turnout on the … Continue reading →
