Quote of the Day

So let us mark this day with remembrance, of who we are and how far we have traveled. In the year of America’s birth, in the coldest of months, a small band of patriots huddled by dying campfires on the shores of an icy river. The capital was abandoned. The enemy was advancing. The snow [...]

Poppin’ the DV cherry …

Oh my God, what an incredible freakin’ day today.

Pal Scotty and I went up to Park City to ski Deer Valley (my first time at any of the Park City resorts) … and I cannot believe how incredible a day it was.

The sky was blue, the sun was out, the temps were [...]

The Promised Land?

Most blacks say MLK’s vision fulfilled, poll finds – CNN.com

WASHINGTON (CNN) — More than two-thirds of African-Americans believe Martin Luther King Jr.’s vision for race relations has been fulfilled, a CNN poll found — a figure up sharply from a survey in early 2008.

The CNN-Opinion Research Corp. survey was released Monday, a federal [...]

Apparel for short, chubby skiers?

Why is it that ski apparel manufacturers seem to think that people fit one particular body type? Seems like all the ski apparel manufacturers think that if you have a 37″ waist, you also have a 35″ inseam … I’m 5’9″, not 6’3″.

Heresy, or prophesy?

Sometimes being Big Ring is knowing when NOT to ride in the big ring …

The way my legs feel right now, I’m certainly glad I never used any gear bigger than the 39×14, and even that only briefly; mostly 39×15 or 39×16.

Hopefully, they’ll be less sore and twitchy in the morning so I [...]

I wish it was Saltair, but it’s more like Dirtair.

Ain’t nuthin’ like a pancake flat ride in hazy polluted inversion air to start the year off right … but that first ride is now in my legs.

Rode out to the Great Salt Lake Marina with a friend I’ve not seen in about 18 months and his father, a little underdressed, [...]

Poetry Friday

MONUMENT

To exist; to be among things. The art of nerve ends, masseur art Of the blind skin

Or the five Senses gone To the one sense, to well being

Lacks significance. Or lacks life. The thing By which the mind Sees!——if it wake——

The wooden sills, the grimed past Above the store fronts and [...]

Dopeur!

Apparently, I’m on crack, at least if a couple of the comments left on my Facebook wall are to be taken with any credence … and why this dastardly accusation you might ask?

Because I’ve been posting (and injecting myself into) song lyrics as my Facebook status for at least the past 24 hours, starting [...]

SOCIAL DISTORTION – BALL AND CHAIN

Well it’s been ten years and a thousand tears And look at the mess I’m in A broken nose and a broken heart, An empty bottle of gin Well I sit and I pray In my broken down Chevrolet While I’m singin’ to myself There’s got to be [...]

SOCIAL DISTORTION – STORY OF MY LIFE

Story of my life

Well, high school seemed like such a blur, I didn’t have much interest in sports or school elections. And in class I dreamed all day About a rock ‘n’ roll weekend

And the girl in the front of the room, So close yet [...]
