2010 Ride #2

View Ascent activity on 30-Jan-10 at 02:01PM in a larger map

Ride #2 for the year, and it’s obvious that whatever fitness I gained on my trip to Arizona over Christmas is now gone. With an AvgHR over 160, peaking out at 179, I was definitely struggling on anything even remotely resembling a climb … [...]

Busted!

I guess Richie Rich got tired of sitting on the sidelines while his girlie girl was getting to race … so he decided to take her out by slipping her a little CERA to jack up her Hct values …

Poor Vania … did you not think that being associated with a doper might [...]

SICK

“I cannot go to school today,” Said little Peggy Ann McKay. “I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I’m going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I’ve counted sixteen chicken pox And there’s [...]

Video Poetry (Dusty Edition)

Every once in awhile, you just feel like telling people to … thankfully, I haven’t had one of THOSE days in a while, but I’m still diggin’ the song, what … 15 years later?

EELS – IN MY YOUNGER DAYS

In my younger days This wouldn’t have been so hard I would’ve just shrugged it off But now it’s tough I’m not so rough I’ve got a little ways to go It’s not over yet, I know But it feels Not so far away

In my younger days [...]

Let’s talk compensation … and customer service.

You know what I find frustrating? From today’s Wall Street Journal:

And now, for what you’ve all been waiting for: Morgan Stanley’s compensation totals:

Sure, the bank’s swing to a fourth-quarter profit of $617 million gets all the headlines, but here at Deal Journal, our eyes naturally seek out the compensation line on that profit [...]

Crust and dust

Interesting weekend, coming to a close … went out to dinner with a great friend on Thursday night for some yummy goodness at Squatters downtown, then a quiet day at work on Friday.

Saturday was supposed to be a ski day, but unfortunately, the tiny little headache I woke up with on turned into a [...]

FOG

A vagueness comes over everything, as though proving color and contour alike dispensable: the lighthouse extinct, the islands’ spruce-tips drunk up like milk in the universal emulsion; houses reverting into the lost and forgotten; granite subsumed, a rumor in a mumble of ocean.                                Tactile definition, however, has not been totally banished: hanging [...]
