I zing the body eclectic
I wanted to tell you about something grossly funny that happened to me four years ago. The delay could mean I’ve been waiting for an excuse to write about it, I’ve been afraid to write about it, or I’m lazy. … Continue reading

Sliding the trails
We live right next to one of Raleigh’s Greenway trails, which I’ve enjoyed. I used to ride my bike on it regularly. During the two years prior to Memorial Day Weekend, I rode it exactly three times. Each outing ended … Continue reading

Air drag deployed (part 6: Sold)

Over the top…
I don’t know how to start this blog entry any more than I knew how to start this day. I only hope the entry ends as well as the day did. I woke up from either a bad dream that … Continue reading
