MERCY RETURNS ME

A woman I want — An honour I covet — A place where I want my mind to dwell — Then Mercy returns me To the triad And the crisis of the song. SWEET TIME

How sweet time feels when it’s too late

and you don’t have to follow her swinging [...]

Shutterbug

Once upon a time, I fancied myself as an aspiring photographer … in addition to the stuff that I currently have posted on Flickr, I used to shoot film at clubs in San Francisco.

Some of those photos can be seen here.

Black and white photos, primarily, generally at night, with very fast film, [...]

Quotes of the Day

“Idealism is what precedes experience; cynicism is what follows.” — David Wolf “The power of accurate observation is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.” — George Bernard Shaw “It’s hard to argue against cynics; they always sound smarter than optimists because they have so much evidence on their side.” — [...]

Drunken blogging; good idea or bad?

Spike!

You know you’re out of shape when your heart rate spikes up to 2 bps below your theoretical max HR based on one methodology and 3-4 bps higher than your max HR based on the 220-age methodology, when riding a relatively flat route.

I’m not seeing to 220+ rates that the Doctor is getting, but [...]

Semi-official officiating …

Spent my first time this season doing the hard part officiating … actually writing down the numbers and keeping track of which lap riders are on, rather than just calling out the numbers.

The later races are easy, because of the smaller fields, but the first race … the men’s “C”, women’s “B” and 14-and-under [...]
