    Earth Day

    I don't care what you think about any political angle on it. I'm just gonna share what I'm thinking of while I'm stuck in the office today: I smell honeysuckle and jasmine, coastal bermuda, wild onions and dirt, a salt breeze and rotting trees. I hear cicadas ringing and seagulls...

    Rekindling an old flame (bike-related!)

    The trails around here have been wet ALL year, and riding the mtb on the streets is getting old. I think it's about time to take the road bike down, dust 'er off, and get a few miles under me. Just thinking about it reminds me of some of the good times we had way back when (she was my "only"...

    I stumbled on this passage in a book

    and it struck me as timeless: “Cultures are not and have never been ‘moral’ in their dealings and relations with one another. Their treatment of one another is and has been ultimately determined by their relative strengths and the nature of their cultures, not by whatever their internal...

    Would you ride a razor scooter on a major thoroughfare?

    (was "WTF. So I'm wondering if there's a Razor Scooter forum on RM") The road between my house and work is a 4-line divided boulevard that goes through four counties and handles tens of thousands of vehicles a day. On my way back from lunch I saw this: A 200+lb dude (I weight 195lbs, I...

    Is that gingerbread man flipping me off?

    In the "familytalk" ad banner. OH, that's a cell phone in his mitt. Woulda been funny tho. So how many other cities have a cool pub called the G-man (other than H-town and ATX)?

    Hey, Boss. . .

    I had trouble formatting my report because some gravy got under my [tab] key. Can I get a better computer? I can’t hear the video game sounds while playing MP3s. The battery in my pager has been dead for six weeks. I hope this hasn’t been a problem. We have random testing...

    Decent mtb rental in San Diego?

    I'll be in San Diego for a conference Oct 16-20. I'm staying close to the convention center (Gas Lamp?) and would like to rent a hardtail to check out the local trails. Any recommendations? Also, any trails you'd recommend within a SHORT drive of the convention center? I'm hoping to get by...

    Do you yell at yourself when riding?

    I ride alone 90% of the time. I spend weekends w/my family, and ride trail on my Fridays off. I'm in crappy shape and I ride to keep it from getting crappier, to get that awesome buzz, and to conquer parts of the trail that kicked my butt last time. Since my first real mountain bike ride...

    Tacos Good

    Our secretary was hungry this morning, so a taco run was deemed necessary. I got one barbacoa, w/the cilantro and onions, and one chorizo/egg. We got tired of the pedestrian salsa so now they pack a little cup of "extra-hot" (the stuff is basically just red chile paste) for us to smear on...

    Big Daddy Like Whiskey

    I was stocking up at Spec's (the only real liquor store in the Houston area) last week and thought I'd get a little bit of bourbon for those quiet evenings next to the DVD player. I usually get some Weller or Beam, since they each hit a nice point on the price/flavor continuum. But I was looking...

    protein, metabolism, and energy

    I just got back "on the wagon". . . after a few weeks of eating crap, I've gone back to keeping track of my intake and keeping it balanced (trying to stay 40/30/30). For me, this means less fat and carbs, and a lot more protein (like 50-60g more) than my usual crappy diet. It also means...
