It’s Ed time, baby!
Timing is everything. In this case, a morning of hyper-productivity and a third consecutive day of flawless weather comes to a close in an afternoon of longing, to be off work!! And then Ed busts out with a stellar reminder of the wonders to come. As Adam likes to remind us, fall and spring are…

For M
This: “You have to be comfortable in your own skin because you are the room’s tuning fork,” said Mr. Coffey. “Everyone is looking to you for your cues. There’s plenty of time for Xanax and tequila at the end of the night, after everyone goes home.”

Stuff for sale
Addendum: Go out for a short ride, and look what awaits! Tons of offers for the saddle, and a few for the bar. Very nice, should be enough to finance M’s new front wheel, and a minimal loss from original cost. Speaking of riding, this evening I hit an out on 305 with the “new”…

Chaco Canyon
I’ve been interested ever since reading Craig Child’s House of Rain a few months ago. So, day after a good ride, we went. This one would be even better if M could keep eyes open in front of the camera. Chaco is the most extensively researched archaeological site in the southwest. It was a center,…

Glacier Surfing
Glacier surfing. Interesting. I’ve had several conversations, with friends and family as well as students (tangentially), about the peculiar extent of leisure activities in our modern lives. For most of us, with so much time and income beyond the basic, we have to find something to keep us from spending it all on cheese and…

Evening news
Our recycling service doesn’t take glass, so we’ve been stock piling since we moved here 14 months ago. Despite our best efforts, it seems that no one in the area does, so a cleansing is in order. These are the 106 New Belgian bottles. 55 other beer bottles (M tells me), and many salsa jars.…
