Tomorrow I get on a motorcycle and ride east for about 2000km. Then, I wander around until the campgrounds threaten to close. Then, I ride home. I guess I could make a post about “how,” focussing about gear. “How” has certainly been on my mind for months ( Read more... )

I'm just back from a week away at an intensive advanced acting retreat, so I thought I'd write about my motorcycle ( Read more... )

Jack (cat) got diagnostic imaging today and when the vet begins her report by saying, "I don't have good news," then one can be pretty sure that a hard decision will need to be made shortly thereafter.

Lear's done. It was a tough week with not much sleep. House was very disappointing; maybe 24 the first night and at most fifty the second. Contributing factors I suspect the choice of venue (hidden in a University campus where parking isn't free), lacklustre marketing, it being a "staged reading" (though we did fully stage it with movement), and it ( Read more... )

Lactase pills seem to mitigate my cheese "problem". Thanks Costco for having cheap lactase pills. And cheap cheese. I guess. Well, anyway, more protein sources is good ( Read more... )
