I went to bed last night a little more relaxed than I had been earlier in the evening. Might have been the company; sitting around a kitchen table with Greg and Frank shooting the breeze was fun. Then again it might have been the tasty beer along with some 12 year old Aberfeldy scotch. The […]

#MariposaLive
Well… recorded live action 🙂 I spent a little time today putting together a few videos from the weekend. I’m not done going through all of the footage yet but I’ve run out of time for the moment so I’ll published what I have gotten to so far. The one I personally like is the […]
Mariposa 2014 – Day 1
This music festival started over 50 years ago and I’ve never been to it. When it started, people like Gordon Lightfoot and Bob Dylan were just finding their stride. And I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t know nearly enough about the who’s and what’s that make up the history of the festival. […]
Moab Book 2: Being There
I feel like like I skipped over so many things along the way to summarizing the first part of the trip… how the weather was (soooo much better than it had been when I left TO), what it felt like to be on the road (and on the road alone)… I am really getting to […]
Back in Toronto…
I’m still just gathering up all the loose ends of the trip and have unpacked all of the “stuff” from Babe but I’m not quite prepared to sit and write down all the thoughts and memories… still digesting those I guess. I enjoyed the trip a lot, on a number of different levels, and it […]
On the road to Moab – day 2
It’s either 9:30pm or 10:30 pm, I haven’t set clocks so I’m not sure which time is right for where I’m camped tonight (which is the home of the Jesse James wax museum in Stanton MO, don’t ask). Regardless of which clock is right, I’m enjoying sitting here in a t-shirt… the weather has improved […]
Another countdown: the end of my first contract experience
I’ve now officially let it be known that I won’t renew my IT contract, which ends in mid-March. With just over a month left I’ve started thinking through the steps I need to complete to wrap it up professionally and to what comes next. It’s exciting, I suppose that is part of the nature of […]
The 2013 Edition of Autumn in Vermont
Amazing how quickly time has passed this year, and yes… I know I’m repeating myself. I just keep getting reminded of that in a bunch of different ways at a bunch of different times. The last bike riding I did was back in April, back in North Carolina, back before I hurt myself. And so […]
Getting out and about – BoTC 2013
This year has been quite a different year, for lots of obvious reasons. The result has been a lot of different activities for me though, and that came as a surprise. Perhaps it shouldn’t have. Obviously all of the time spent in the halo meant I couldn’t be active the way I normally would be. […]
Camping, a little more camping, and a few bike races in between
I’m recently back from the Tour of Elk Grove, or I should say I was home and am already on the road again. This time it’s a VW campout (Buses of the Corn) and the Buckwallow MTB O-Cup race. ToEG was great, and I’m glad I extended the trip for a couple of nights of […]
