so i spent my honeymoon in utah this year. p took all the pictures, she always does. i do not a photographer make, so i just write the words and she does the imagery and this is good. i wrote up our third day at the usual place. for those of you who just want the quickie... ( Here Be Photos... )

hrmmm... my life at home is so busy that i only have time to post when i'm traveling because i have enforced sitting and waiting before my flight. clearly, it's time to slow down. now if i can just find a little chip in this schedule so i can jam a brake lever in there!

while i was in toronto i had a delightful dinner with acoupleloonies who fed me up on ( Read more... )

well, after getting home from my recent epic motorcycle trip, my priority shifted from posting about my ride as soon as possible to recovering from my kidney infection. i tried really hard to write but everything i got into pixels and bits was just shite. i was only awake for 20 minutes at a time and the writing was, unsurprisingly, disjointed ( Read more... )

i'm heading out for hot-lanta tomorrow. mrz80, i will go to Cafe Intermezzo this time, i aver now before everybody. everybody, take note. i'm riding out on the valk for a conference at which i'm presenting a paper i did not write. fun! at least they let me have a go at the slides. they were hideously ugly and looked like they'd been written by an ( Read more... )

I was riding my valk from Dallas to Birmingham today, and somewhere around halfway I stopped for gas. I think I was on the border of Louisiana and Mississippi. Some kid hollered out the window of his folks car about how "that sure is a nice bike!" He was cute. It's funny how quickly you get used to the adoring groupies at gas stations when you ride ( Read more... )
