CSI: Crapola
CSI is a slick looking show with hip music and fascinating use of color and images. For all intents and purposes (is that how it goes?), I should LOVE it. Them. "CSI" "CSI:Miami" "CSI:Whatever ( Read more... ) -
Biking - Things I've Learned
I thoroughly enjoy riding my bike. I'm no longer afraid of the main streets but I do prefer those with bike lanes. I'm totally aware of my surroundings and positioning in traffic and keep my eye out for drivers who aren't. My greatest fear is getting "doored," so I try to avoid heavy retail and shopping areas. Retail areas provide good people ( Read more... ) -
Chicago
My love for Chicago continues. I'm not a big club goer anymore. I'm not sure how I feel about that because I really miss "clubs" - huge spaces with booming sound and lighting systems with hundreds of people dancing. I miss the enormous clubs of home. I miss losing myself in the desire to drown in bass and let go into the music. I've yet to ( Read more... ) -

Was told that my "crevice" (cre-vaas: that's what I'm calling the part of my butt that is sore) will stop aching in a few days. The dude said the bike is basically brand new and doesn't need any work until the end of the ( Read more... ) -
Bike Part 2
I bought a bike. Well, Jess bought me a bike as an early birthday gift. I'm NOT a cheap date, but had no problem giving up a brand new lower end bike for a slightly used higher end model. It's a big bike - 58cm - original owner was 6'2," he only rode it a handful of times last season. He broke up with his girlfriend (who sold me the bike) back ( Read more... ) -

Perfect
There are days, like today, when this city is alive. When the sun is shining and the breeze is perfect. When the buildings are magnificent and the people are friendly. When the parks are lush with so many flowers, birds and things to be discovered. After the tulips and lilacs have gone but others take their place - the purples and blues. When ( Read more... )
