One of those days....
I woke up, thinking it was lovely to wake up on my own, then thought, wait a minute.... waking up on my own? What time is it?!? Well, still early enough not to panic, but not as early as I prefer to get up. The sound on the radio had been all the way down, presumably an accident done yesterday night as I turned my clock back to face the ( Read more... ) -
Still in love with my bike
Though less frequently giddy, I suppose. I got fenders yesterday, and this weekend hope to purchase a rack and panniers, as REI is having a sale. My back is sore today from carrying groceries and what not in a heavy backpack on the way home. I also appear to have discovered my comfort threshold for rides without bike pants. I did about 13 miles ( Read more... ) -
Picking Names....
Well, I have given myself a deadline of the end of the weekend to pick a name for the new blog. And I appear to be giving in to the word blog. Weblog is just so awkward ( Read more... ) -
The perks of working for my company....
One of which is that there is always food around of one sort or another. And then there are the times when they make lunch. My department makes lunch that is. It is a shame that I don't have the food blog name picked out yet. Today's post could have been about lobster ( Read more... ) -
Names
I may be starting to hit that point of too many ideas. Either that or I just haven't hit on quite the right name yet.
I am still liking the word indulgences a lot. And my religious studies mind has a certain appreciation for its Catholic connotations in conjunction with serious consumption of decadent things. So I have a few things that I have ( Read more... ) -
Pondering the nature of certain things....
M and I biked 20 miles on Saturday along the North Portland part of the Columbia River. It was stunningly gorgeous. On the way back from Blue Lake the haze had cleared and there was an amazing view of Mt. Hood if you turned around to look that direction ( Read more... ) -
ah, REI outlet....
I have ordered several things to be delivered to the REI store nearby. Another pair of bike shorts, a pair of long bike tights, and a Pearl Izumi light jacket. All on pretty decent sale pricing. And I have my eye on a pair of bike knickers/capris that I am hoping I may manage to grab when the clearance sale happens, if I am really, really lucky ( Read more... ) -
Moments of idiocy
Well, we all have those moments when we do something or it happens and you suddenly have that - look around, did anyone see that? This morning I got my bike down the stairs and was getting on and managed to fumble it. The scene that comes immediately to mind is the one in the Italian job, where Lyle drops his motorcycle. I am fine, the bike is ( Read more... ) -
Soliciting those word smiths who might like to give phrase suggestions
I have been toying with starting a blog (yes, I know I have complained about the word, I may be giving in to its common usage power), primarily a food blog, and have been trying to come up with phrases to title said endeavor. Here is my current brainstorming on the topic from this afternoon ( Read more... ) -
Bike Log of the last few days
Well, I have been biking a lot. I have been going back and forth to work each day, which hardly counts as it takes something like 7 minutes on a bike, depending on the lights. But it is still about a mile each way ( Read more... )
