TweetDo you believe in omens? I really think some things happen in your life that are nothing more than messages that need to be heeded. Maybe they happen to us every day, but we’re just too pre-occupied or oblivious to notice them. Maybe we don’t want to see them. Maybe we’re just clueless. But sometimes […]

Tweet… and put the load right on me. First ride in 11 days this morning, not that anyone’s counting. And I’m here to tell you to believe all those articles you read that say you begin to lose conditioning after a week. Either that or I managed to put on way too much weight in […]

TweetAs in skies. Much like the people in Oregon used to tell (false) stories of the horrendous economic conditions, terrible weather, and lack of culture, all in a mis-guided and eventually fruitless effort to keep hordes of Californians from moving to their state, I am now convinced that the citizens of Ireland are taking a […]

TweetJust for a few days. I have plans to investigate how European Union food labeling regulations may have affected the methods of serving Guiness draft.

Having several hundred thousand college and university students roaming around your town has to be a major competitive advantage, and something we should appreciate and even nurture.

Is the threat of scattered showers enough to keep the amateurs inside their internally combusted boxes? Massachusetts Avenue this morning, just before Porter Square. School bus puts on its flashers, stops […]

TweetI saw my next door neighbor this afternoon while he was walking back from Trader Joe’s. He’s a pretty faithful bike commuter — more faithful than I — but he’s off the bike for a while until the collar bone he broke when the hit-and-run driver nailed him in Cambridge heals. He asked how it […]

TweetTwo days of bike commuting and I’m feeling better already. Although it’s definitely National Bike to Work Week out there; lots of amateurs. Today I experienced a first. Trying to scoot between traffic and the curb crossing the Mass Pike and I was stopped in my tracks by a dad with a bike trailer, who […]

TweetProbably won’t be doing too much posting this week. The Wife’s out of town until Sunday, it’s both Little League (2 games/week + practice) and spring soccer (game + practice/s), and there are various and sundry after-hour appointments/meetings/shopping that need to get done. Bottom line — not much time flexibility to ride a bike in […]
