Not much has been going on of late, at least not much noteworthy. I’ve had the studs on the winter bike and cut through the wintry mix we had over the last few days quite well. Nothing strikes up a conversation in the grocery store on a snowy morning at 7am with a complete stranger [...]

They finally killed my #*&#!%g bike… I was turning left at the stoplight on Wyman Park Dr. and Remington. When the light turned green I stomped on the pedals and sheared the left crankarm clean off. I’ve only got maybe 2000 miles on this set. Guess my legs are getting stronger… Reminder for the day. [...]

One Line Summary: Less Bikes. More Coffee. special thanks to xkcd for the comic Well yes, we were only affected by 1 storm in our area, but it just so happened to be right when I needed it least. Saturday and Sunday 2 weekends ago I was supposed to raise $750 and ride 250 miles [...]

Good stuff, bad stuff, everything is going by so fast right now that I don’t think to write about it. Not that there aren’t some things worth writing about. Once I hit my low weight a few weeks back I didn’t bounce high off the bottom, so that was good. My friend who’s getting married [...]

6 lbs over my best weight as opposed to 20 that is… A week and a half later, and I’ve had a chance to get back to my center. Haven’t given up carbs completely, but I did eliminate all the refined stuff (aside from the scotch I’m sipping right now) and stocked up on tons [...]

I spent the weekend up at my parents house in PA, which was a good thing, but whenever I’m away I eat bad things. It isn’t so much that I eat bad things, but I eat too much. This is constant for any outing from my normal schedule. Dinner out, visits to friends, visits to [...]

It was nearly a year ago this week that I went on my first s240. This weekend has all the signs that the weather is going to be more gorgeous than any we have seen since November and I really want to get out, but… State Parks ‘taint open yet round here. I’m not enough [...]

That’s how I felt all week, then I woke up this morning to 21″ of snow on the front walk. 2′ is a little too deep to do anything with on a bike so I just pacified myself with shoveling for 4 hours instead. I commuted all week, but once the snow gets deeper than [...]

Not quite, but close. I finished my math course, coasted into the holidays, vegged out for 2 or 3 days and then jumped headlong into a web dev project that I’m trying to polish off for work as quickly as possible. I’m giving them free labor in my off hours, but it’s a learning project [...]

This weekend was in large part chopped into tiny bite sized pieces by social engagements that were planted strategically in the middle of the afternoon. Of course the weather was fantastic, so the sun taunted me from outside the banquet halls where I was stuck while the world was pedaling by. I tried to break [...]
