Happy Fathers Day to all the dads out there. My dad passed away 32 years ago and I rarely think of my dad in a way that makes me feel sad. I do enjoy making everybody else uncomfortable by posting dumb memes but that’s about the extent of it. My thoughts seems to turn to […]

Best weekend in a while…
I had a shitty week last week. It was a combination of not cycling, the amount of darkness in the 24 hour period this time of year and trying to share a car between two working adults. Friday night, Jen worked late so I just sat on the sofa, drank alcohol and played on the […]
Morning, Internet: 08/06
Yesterday evening was much-needed. We cooked dinner at home (tofu and vegetables in peanut sauce) and I fixed lunches for the rest of week. Yay for being prepared! Biked into work this morning and saw two other bicycle commuters on the way- rare for Nashville. It’s supposed to be pretty hot today (95 for a […]
Morning, Internet: 08/04
Good morning. We’re about to head over to Vandy for Jen’s last infusion. I’m telecommuting today so that I can go with her on this last visit; we’re excited. I didn’t bike to work yesterday. I’ve felt melancholy for the last couple days and I just wasn’t feeling it, at all. The last couple weekends […]
Friday bike and thangs 04/25/14
Quick hits I’ve had bicycle touring on my brain lately and the photo below really appeals to me. The weather has been great and my miles on the bike (300 miles in April so far) and my happiness levels have been up because of it. I’m participating in the National Bike Challenge. If you ride […]
Thoughts on clean sheets
There are only a few things better in life than fresh sheets. — Michael Harley (@obsolete29) March 18, 2014 I love clean sheets. I also love the way the carpet looks right after vacuuming. I love the way the kitchen looks when all of the dishes are put away, everything is clean; my world seems […]
Checking in 02/28/14
So yeah… I’m not sure why I persist on wanting to write on my blog. I think I’m more in love with the idea of writing regular blog posts and journal than I am of actually doing it. Here are some quick hits. I’ve been working on my left sleeve and Monday was my second […]
Friday bike and thangs 01/31
Since I’ve been cycling to work, I feel that I’m more in tune with nature because I have to be. I’m out in the elements and I have to be aware of the weather forecast. I understand what it means to be outside for an extended period of time in 3 degree weather. I know […]
Friday bike and thangs 01/24
I’ve felt under the weather all week plus it’s been cold so I haven’t ridden my bike at all. Ugh. We heard that Oh No Fiasco is playing on Feb 13th at Mercy; we’re getting our tickets soon. I have a tattoo appointment on Monday with Ian.
Friday bike and thangs for 01/17/2013
Hi. Can I please do this with my bike friends? I think my tribe is in Portland (OR, not TN). Adventures come in all sizes. If there is one thing I love about Portland, it is fairly easy to gather a group of like-minded folks to follow your folly. The #SunRiseCofffee Club gets together sporadically […]
