Oh dear lord … this is not going to be good for my liver. Excerpt from the article, quoted below: FOUR years ago, Jordan Silbert had a gin and tonic that changed his life. The gin may have played some role, but the real catalyst was a large bottle of Schweppes tonic water, its label [...] “Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating; there is really no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.” — John Ruskin (1819-1900), English Writer and Critic of art, architecture, and society. What with manipulating templates to make it look the way you want, coming up with topics to write about on a semi-regular basis, monitoring the comments to ward off comment spam, and so on, keeping a blog really isn’t as easy as some people might think it would be. Of course, you never want to [...] THE SNOW STORM Announced by all the trumpets of the sky, Arrives the snow, and, driving o’er the fields, Seems nowhere to alight: the whited air Hides hills and woods, the river, and the heaven, And veils the farmhouse at the garden’s end. The sled and traveler stopped, the courier’s feet Delayed, all friends shut [...] Cyclocross Is Colorful. Mud-Colored, That Is …, at least according to The New York Times. It’s nice to see our niche sport get some coverage in such a major, national media outlet. Don’t forget to check out the slideshow as well.

Many thanks to Scottie, Chelsie, and Nikos for inviting me, and to Woody, Mariah and Aaron for good conversation. “It is good to be alone. To be far away from the world and yet walk its streets is to be alone. To be alone walking up the path beside the rushing, noisy mountain stream full of spring water and melting snows is to be aware of the solitary tree, alone in its beauty. The [...] Part of me really hates this time of year … oh, sure, I love it when winter is rolling in, when the snow is starting to fall, and ‘cross and/or ski seasons are in full swing. Then there’s the holidays. The turning of a harvest celebration into football and overeating, followed by mad dashes to [...] “Without going out the door, you can know the world. Without looking out the window, you can see heaven. The farther you travel, the less you know. Thus the wise person knows without traveling, understands without seeing, accomplishes without acting.” — Lao Tzu, Tao Te Ching. |
