Gold Member dragged me out for a pre-dawn assault. It was my first ski of the season. It was past due. This is pretty much how it went down:
5am. No cheese but the cheezits. Improvise. by 6am, the coffee had yet to kick in. I felt like my boy looks.

With every intention of taking the Mrs. out for a mtb ride yesterday, the weather wasn’t having it. So, what to do but surf the web and read some news. Never hurts to learn, right? What’s been killing me lately is the lack of anything viable, or nary a feel-good story. Killings here, bombings there, [...]
One week. Then I go back to school. This break will not be long enough. I need months to get over this shit. I need a job. I need a paycheck. I need hopes, dreams and aspirations.
I’ll settle for LA Direct Models. Sites like that crack my shit [...]
It being, you know, that time of year when folks tend to make their resolutions, I am going to try and do something like that now. It’s early, sure, but why the fuck not?
First, try to take myself less serious. Seriously, my job is stressful at times, and I think I take it too serious. [...]
I put on my first pair of cycling shoes in 1992, after years of pounding toe-clips around the hills of my hometown. They were the top of the line Sidi’s. The same fruity colored units that Tinker sported back in the days of the Etto and Klein. Although I couldn’t understand why cyclists had to [...]
Being ever so scientific minded and having been presented over the years with a number of “sure-fire” hangover cures, I thought it was high time to cut through the crap and do a little scientific research. Put it to rest once-and-for-all, as it were.
While there are any number of fixes for the brown-bottle [...]
Hey, listen –
Most folks know that when you ask someone for something, you have to give them something in return. It’s pretty fucking basic. Maybe it has to do in some way with the 3rd law of physics. I know, gutter punks think that because they eat from the dumpster, they don’t [...]
no, wait…. we HATE the world.
Approved by a vote of 177 in favour to 1 against (United States), with 2 abstentions (Canada and Israel),the resolution on the right to development would have the Assembly call on the Council to continue to ensure that its agenda promotes and advances sustainable development and the Millennium Development Goals [...]
For me it’s not about a religious event…or some old fat bearded guy in a red suit. It’s as simple as a new bike for my 9 year old. A kick-ass bike. Never mind that it’s used — barely — but used nonetheless. It’s about the look on his face [...]
I spent far too long watching the tube tonight. Given that we only have about 12 or 16 accidental channels that happen to squeak in through our cable meant for internets, it was only fitting that I punished myself tonight with such great shows as Baby Daddy on the BLT network, where 248 tricks [...]
Call for a big drink.
Fatherhood. I had no idea about it until I became one myself, and there really isn’t anything cooler than watching your own prodigy rip it up. I can’t wait to get my boy out on the trails too. Super cool…

So it happened a couple of weeks ago already… that Tucson Bike Swap thing. It’s not to be missed imo since it’s the largest bicycle garage sale you’ll ever see other than Denver and the VeloSwap… or Elsons on rare occasion. But, time has been flying and truth be told, I didn’t get to spend [...]

It brings many things. A better-developed palette for savoring various scotches and fine wines. It makes you appreciate fine food and all it’s intricacies.
It brings the knowledge that some people will bullshit you to get a laugh, while others will bullshit you to get your last dime and life’s blood and leave you dying in [...]
As I take some time away from cooking the ham (my sister is bring’n the turkey), peeling the sweet potatoes, setting the table and cleaning the glasses, I’d like to share some rambling thoughts. Today is Thankgiving. And, for me anyway, it is a day to spend with friends and famliy. [...]
What happens when you ride 109 miles with 7000 people that are WAY too excited to be riding 109 miles? A lesson for those of you that value your ass skin.
