Only as Young as You Feel

I went out to the movies last night and wouldn’t you know it I got carded. Carded! I look like I’m 17? Hmmmm.

The Real Reason to Wear a Bike Helmet

Saturday, October 28th, 2006

To protect one from falling autumn foliage. “Ping! Ping! Ping!” went the acorns. At one point I had a leaf stuck in the vents of my helmet. My very own headdress.

(For those wondering today’s bike trip was 44 miles)

Rain, Rain Go Away!

Saturday, October 7th, 2006

It’s raining so much I was thinking about building an ark. You know, one of those pre-fab ones from IKEA where they send the tools and funny little picture instructions along with the kit. I saw a “Just Add Water!” version from Wal-mart but that sounds too much like those so-called “Sea-Monkeys.” I fear I would end up with an ark that would be so small I would need a microscope to make sure it wasn’t a piece of dirt floating in some water. I think the extra $5.99 spent on the IKEA version will be well worth it. Plus, I’ll have the satisfaction of knowing that I, ahem, “built” it.
If you would like to join me on my nicely veneered, particle board boat just drop me a line. I can promise there will be lots of organically grown vegetables and two of every liquor! Bring it on, Rain!
