- A Sort of Finish Line This evening as I rode up the hill after work, I stopped at the last quiet intersection, as always. Only this evening, there was one extra hour of Daylight Savings in the sky. (I like to think of it as on deposit. Each day the sky earns about one more minute.) As if the Savings […]
- When it Rains in My City When it rains, I must ask others to drive me to work. On days when the rain comes suddenly, they give my bike a ride, too. I like the rainy day car conversations. They come as unexpectedly as the rain. We sit and squint through the wipers in the front seat, and the periwinkle Schwinn […]
- Good News, Schwinny Good news and tidings of comfort. Politicians plan for a more bike-friendly Los Angeles! CBS2 just announced this news: City officials were asked to create a plan that includes bike-only roadways, more bike lanes on wide streets and sidewalks, and a public bicycle program that would allow Angelenos to rent bikes online or at Metro […]
- Streams for Sunday: Dialects This streaming thing is probably one of the healthiest exercises around. Next to those awful reverse crunches, I suppose. Related: Streams for Sunday: Gratitude, Run
- Sad Mobile Upload. Stolen seat. Late breaking news in the travel adventure. Someone stole my nice new bike seat with the great shocks. The wheel and axle were locked up, but how do you lock up a seat? Trying real hard to bless instead of cursing right now. Lord let the person who sits on that nice cushy seat have […]
- Mobile upload. Union Station The Amtrak lady took one look at me and said “Sorry. No bikes allowed on this train today.” And then my eyebrows went sky high. And then she giggled. Amtrak lady got me. The train is delayed so I’m power reading. There’s a guy behind me going to Carpinteria and wearing a large cowboy hat. […]
- Mobile upload. LA metro The weekend rucksack definately changed my center of gravity on the bike ride to the metro. But I made it.
- Biking to Santa Barbara To commemorate my second day of 28 years of age, I am trying something new. I’m biking from the Klein house in Altadena to Santa Barbara. Sweet Jesse Borden is planning a tri-birthday bonfire for Elise, Trevor, and I tonight. How could I miss that? Yes, I’ll be using some Metros and Amtraks and possibly […]
- Screams in the Dark This weekend I went to see Bella the movie at the indie theater. Great film. I cried happy tears. A little Christiany-idealistic, but beautiful, nonetheless. It won loads of awards. Just go see it. (There’s my paltry movie review of the day.) I had the best parking spot in town: about three steps outside the […]
- Ride Bike, Get Happy I think that everyone should ditch their cars and ride bikes. We’d all be a happier bunch. And the Earth would be, too. I am having such a nice time riding from Altadena to Pasadena on the bike. I’ve been trekking up and down the hill for the last three days and feel like the […]
