James Levine pulled out for the rest of the season, so we will not see him once this year. Very frustrating. It’s like watching Daiske. He’s awesome when he plays. Whenever that is. I mean, I feel for the guy, back trouble is awful, but it may be time to consider a trade. BSO program [...]
I’ve started collecting donations for the 2010 New England Classic Tour de Cure, a 550-mile bike pledge ride benefit the American Diabetes Association. My goal this year is $3000. Please help.
I took my city commuter bike over to Emily’s new shop and let her have at it while I was in New Orleans. Whoa! did she do a good job! It’s like a whole new bike. I’d never been happy with the brakes, so she swapped out the levers for ones that actually do the [...]
Played hooky of Friday afternoon and took my first road ride in quite a long time. It was nearly 70 degrees with sunny blue skies. I did the Minuteman trail out and back (35 miles). When I reset the cyclometer for the ride, it said 129 miles! Can that be possible? 129 miles can only [...]
[netflix] [IMDb] [site] A huge, weird spaceship parks itself over Johannesburg, South Africa and sits. For 30 years. The people get upset and decide to cut their way into it to find large numbers of malnourished and confused aliens. The aliens are invited to live amongst the population, but things soon turn sour and they’re [...]
Elysian Fields Inn is the place to stay. There’s another place around the corner called Marigny Manor House which looks good if Elysian Fields is full and has similar room rates. The Airport Shuttle does not stop there, but it’s right around the corner, so you can get off at Elysian Fields and walk with [...]
My head is peeling.
and still alive. It would be really easy to wake up dead in New Orleans. I had lots of fun. The bike I rented was in very good condition and made things much easier. I rode out to Lake Pontchartrain one afternoon and got terribly sunburned on the back of my hands and the back [...]
I made it. Something doesn’t want me to be here. The day before I left, the disc drive in my server died. No time to fix that but at least everything is backed up. Provided that disk is good. Then I nearly sliced the end of my finger off. TOP TIP: if you drop a [...]
Two more tales illustrating why those who think the current system is just fine and we have no need for health care reform are idiots. I don’t like the current proposals either, but “just say no” is not a helpful course. Biking Diabetic says: First off, I had a doctor’s appointment at 10:40 a.m. This [...]
Whatever you think of their music (some of it is pretty catchy pop tunes), OkGo makes some of the best music videos around. From the dance routine that’s now de rigueur at weddings and proms, to an incredible treadmill routine, they now have the most awesomest Rube Goldberg device I’ve ever seen. They had help [...]
