Poetry Friday

CHAOS IS THE NEW CALM

Chaos is the new calm violence the new balm to be spread on lips unused to a kiss.

Left is the new right as I brace for a fight with a man who stands on his remaining hand.

Fetid harbor harbor me until someone is free to drive me [...]

2010 Ride #31

View Ascent activity on 18-Jul-10 at 02:16PM in a larger map

Nice flat easy recovery spin through Holladay and Murray. 10 miles. 42 minutes. Felt good. It’s hot out.

Now for a burger and a beer, then off to the warehouse later this evening for a Tour stage viewing.

Writer’s Block

I really have to find some things to write about, because this blog is getting stale … and I certainly can’t only post poetry on Fridays.

A quick summary of Facebook status updates which give an idea of some of the things running through my head right now.

Thinking about starting a 365 day [...]

Poetry Friday (belated)

APPEAL TO THE GRAMMARIANS

We, the naturally hopeful, Need a simple sign For the myriad ways we’re capsized. We who love precise language Need a finer way to convey Disappointment and perplexity.

Saturday – Museum of Natural History at the University of Utah, then Oasis Cafe … then a homecooked meal of chicken, sautéed in olive oil and garam masala spice, with feta, hazelnut and butternut squash ravioli, accompanied by spring greens salad with a homemade [...]

Solitude Day #5

I took today (Friday) off work … the weather has been so nice the past few days, and since I didn’t get a chance to ski last weekend due to digestive issues related to a change in diet (8 pounds lost so far!), I was going stir-crazy by Wednesday. Put in for a vacation day [...]

Two of my favorite things …

Stella Artois – The Race

Two-ply (or double-wrap)

Man, am I tired … and I didn’t even race this weekend!

The double weekend started on Saturday at Rocky Mountain Raceway, and Marek Shon (of Cyclesmith) designed an incredibly difficult course including sections of the motocross course. Steep run up (dubbed The Pride Killer) leading into a hairpin descent under a bridge into [...]

Ah, Utah, I don’t know thee well enough

You just have to love Utah and its wonderfully idiotic (original language snipped, because I’ve got the word “porn” in several blog entries to help drive traffic) concept of holiday celebrations.

Today is July 24, which has some meaning to the Mormons, although I’ve no clue exactly what. Problem is that most people in the [...]
