I sit in the backyard, chair turned toward the sun, with a new book. The sun is warm and good. I need this. Our house was built in 1992. Brand new by east coast standards. Ancient history in the ever expanding, southwestern metropolis of Phoenix. The lawn is manicured, irrigated, overseeded, fertilized. I am reading [...]
New books and old bikes
The danger of prejudice and the levity of being
I don’t know who these guys are, but I like their style. Read about them here: ritteracing.com/story. Check out the kick ass looking bike they’re selling here: ritteracing.com/ritte-bicycles. They like Belgium. I like Belgium. We all like Belgium. So, I’m watching football the other night while trying to get a head count of who exactly [...]
Ik Ben God Niet
About a week back in my life of Second Year Law Student Dumbness, I came home after a final exam in Constitutional Law and popped in the Liège-Bastogne-Liège 2003 DVD. Because that shit gets me stoked. One hell of a race that year. Actually, it’s one hell of a race most years. Hamilton came up [...]
The Big Hurt
I had not thought about my old friend The Big Hurt much of late. It wasn’t until my wife told me a story this week of a co-worker of hers, a nice guy about my age that I’ve met exactly once, that I thought much about it at all. Seems the old boy went through [...]
Class move on Thanksgiving at a bar
Seems not everyone out there spent Thanksgiving at home with the family last night. Some folks went out and went big. From: Jim L. A friend snapped this photo in the ladies room last night and I thought you might find it funny. Apparently this girl was well hydrated. Good times. Good time, indeed. And [...]
Today I am thankful for…
Family, friends, big platters of food, twenty nine inch wheels and clean chamois. What are you thankful for?
I have at times had dreams of football.
Another one in from our man Senna. He writes, I post, you read. We all win. I’m watching out of my window. I’ve never noticed before the ravens and their behavior, but today I’m seeing what they are doing. There is a gang of about 6 of them flying about the tops of the cedar [...]
Happy Friday
From: Case Flakelman Happy friday. FUH2.
Road Rage Trial
Not exactly recent news, but we’re not exactly a source for recent ’round these parts. More like day late and dollar short. Hey, we do what we can. You, dear reader, can expect nothing less than mediocrity and mid-pack finishes from the likes of us. But watch your back at the buffet table. I’ve seen [...]
Yeah, a hump is like a pile
I’ve been trying to keep up with my emails and related “not law school” related activities and communications. And, I’ve apparently failed miserably. That said, I’m going to dump a couple of real beauties on ya’ll. From: ben Subject: caption this… portland cross race this weekend. Keeping it real. Kid is bringing the big wood [...]
Something bugging me…
OK, haven’t been around here for awhile. Quick recap first before I get to the things that are bugging me (and yes, they’re about bike racing, this time): 1. I got laid off from my job back in February. 2. I thought about going to law school. 3. I got a new job in Washington [...]
“I am coming for you.”
Yeah, anger is a healthy thing. From: pfr maybe you have seen this before maybe not either way it is still pretty sweet I don’t believe I’ve seen this one before. But, damn if I don’t understand just what he’s saying.
