Then everything went black

How cute is this? Yeah, that’s cute.  Now who was the dumb ass that recommended I watch Hachiko?  You suck.  Although I’m fascinated that it was based on a true story, which is really cool.  Although stuffing and mounting him is kind of weird On the other hand, it’s been hot here...

I have spoke with the tongue of angels

These are the guys that brought us this one back a few years ago. In that vein I will have to confess to almost killing myself last weekend. Because I didn’t “see” something I wasn’t looking for. At Heather Farms there is a spot where cyclists have to come out...

I do not sniff the coke I only drink Tempranillo

Racism, death, fences and 9/11.  For the love of God Wine Dog, could we please have some fun on this blog? You betcha.  Let’s start with a little dumpster dive in flagrante delicto.  No, I can’t answer the question “What’s the matter with Kansas?”. And week is not complete without taking a swipe at...

If you miss the comment section at PBE, sometimes you miss a lot. You’d be missing OTG and Titleslug and my pal Skippity-Do-Dah. And a lot of other folks with interesting input. Lucky for y’all, I read the comment section and sometimes a gentle reader has a question or concern. I suspect this is...

Here’s a ride that should not have handed my ass to me. But I had to sleep in today. I had to get up with the dogs, feed them and go back to bed. I didn’t get up until 7:30 and didn’t leave until 9:20. Big mistake. 08/09/2009 RouteFind more Bike Rides in Concord,...

Don’t you wanna hear him call your name

Anybody who tells you that real estate isn’t busy right now is a lazy bastard. It’s screaming busy if you chose to make it happen. So I have been a little remiss, but I also have to be in the correct headspace if it’s going to be a rant. And some asshats earned themselves...

Would you still remember me

Today is the Vineman. While I know a lot of people competing today, I won’t be. Another guy won’t be. I knew him peripherally, not personally. I’ll never know him now. He was out on Camino Tassajara on a Friday evening ride, training for the Vineman. He was at a particularly dangerous curve, where...

And now, we ride

I’m leaving in about 30 minutes. 5:15 to be exact, to be at the HP Pavilion to park, set up and be at the front of the pack by the 7:30 start time. Being a member of Team Fatty turned out to have some perks. Last night, when normally I would have stayed home...
