Yes…I considered wearing a t-shirt with big bold letters saying “BAH HUMBUG!” this year. This is kind of odd for me considering I’m usually turning into an excitable kid when December comes. But this year I was the grinch for the most part. This year has been different than in the past. Poor economy, crazy [...]

Filling up space and writing between the lines
Or also titled as….random thoughts spewing forth from my cranium.
Inspiration. Never around when you need it…always there when you can’t do anything about it.
Yeah, I’ve not done much in the way of music in the past while. Granted there’s been moving, holidays, children, schedules, life in general but in spite of that, the musical inpiration has [...]

Fall ‘08 is Done!
A on the final math exam. My math grade this semester never dropped below a 92. Bragging rights! And today I passed the Assesment for math147 (precalculus). SO A’s across the board for this semester and I’m done until January ‘09 when I start a whole new level of insanity.

Back in the saddle again
Well it’s finally underway.
I finally tackled that hurdle and am back on a training program for getting back to my lean mean cycling machine self. Leave it to me to start out by riding in cold wet rainy weather. Aside from feeling sadly out of shape, it felt good to be on the bike again. [...]

…some Idol worship…
It was 1999 and I tuned into OLN’s coverage of the Tour De France. I remember watching Greg Lemond when I was a kid and loved watching bike races so I tuned in to check it out. I had missed most of the race but caught the last bit of it and there was a [...]
