So I get up this morning, right? It’s pouring down rain, right? Tuesdays are the days I’m at my client’s office, so I’m trying to decide whether to ride or walk (it’s about a mile away, maybe not even that far). I’ve ridden in the rain before, but I really don’t like spending the day [...]
Signed up for Outriders again this year. It’s June 21this year. It’s 130 Miles (200km) from Boston to Provincetown in one day. I hope it’s good weather. Got the same room reserved at Captain’s House and will be staying at least one extra day. Even though this is a long ride, you start at 6:00 [...]
So today Tim (from NEC) and I did the Marathon route. We started around 6:45 from the finish line and rode to the start, turned around, and rode back to the finish. At least that was the plan.
The early start of the marathon this year really messed me up. Normally, I can get out to [...]

You know, love him or hate him, you have to admire what he’s doing. Every story I’ve heard about his foundation is a glowing report. It fills a need that, up to now, has been unmet.
One or two friends and I are riding the route before the marathon on [...]
The Globe calls for bike lanes
Decided to take the afternoon off and make it a 3½ day weekend. And as it was a beautiful day, I did the Minuteman trail again. Bright, sunny, calm, loads of people. Started around 2, ended around 5.
Lots of people out prepping for Monday’s holiday. Big flatbeds of port-o-johns being delivered, fife and drum players [...]
Onomatopoeia: Massachusetts
Well, yesterday’s ride seems to have brought back my cough. Will I never be rid of this thing?
I got a note yesterday that registration is open for Seacoast Century in Hampton Beach. This is one of the rides I usually do, but I’m thinking of cutting out most of the planned centuries. Mostly because of [...]
Finally got back out on the road again today. Did the Minuteman out and back. I’d forgotten, though, that the Paul Dudley White Bike Path is closed on this side of the Charles, so had to backtrack and hoof it over the pedestrian bridge at BU, then up Comm Ave, over the BU Bridge, then [...]

A really rather pointless film that adds nothing to the first one. The premise is to explore fandom outside the US and to revisit some of the people profiled in the first film. It’s a great gig for the producers, I mean they got to visit England, France, Italy, Germany, Serbia, Austrailia, and [...]

No, I hadn’t seen this until now. I really, really like these books and was afraid of seeing the movie after so many failed efforts at bringing it to the screen before.
Who doesn’t know the story by now? Bilbo rides of into the sunset and leaves his nephew, Frodo, to dispose of the [...]

Archive.org has quite a few downloadable and streamable good crappy sci-fi movies. This is one of them.
A scientist, Bill Cortner (Jason Evers), is experimenting with transplants when his girlfriend, Jan Compton (Virginial Leith), is decapitated in a car accident. Luckily (for Bill), his experiments are in the area of keeping dismembered parts alive [...]
