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 [...]
I’ve always enjoyed Sunday mornings … from going to Sunday School and then services at First Baptist Church of Chattanooga, Tennessee with my great-grandmother when my age was still in the single-digits, to my current more adult-oriented fare (no, not porn) of double cappuccino, CBS Sunday Morning, Face the Nation, and the New York [...]

Description from Netflix:
Six actors portray six personas of music legend Bob Dylan in scenes depicting various stages in the musician’s life. Chronicling Dylan’s rise from unknown folksinger to international icon, the film [...]
Little Belgium – The 2007 New England Cyclocross Season from Andy Frothingham on Vimeo.
Just in time to start getting people psyched for the upcoming cyclocross season, I found this short 40-minute film by 14-year old Andy Frothingham … there’s a few name misspellings, but the kid is only 14, and the film is [...]
To me, there’s nothing better than watching a film starring my favorite actor, about one of my all-time favorite singers …
Thank you, whomever the powers that be may be for Bobby Darin, for Kevin Spacey, and for the Independent Film Channel.
