Just in time for winter, my bike has slipped into a bit of a coma. But I believe that some work replacing the alternator will bring it back to life.
I hope.

This is a blog about what I write, what I ride, and all the rest.
How I commute
Some of my other writings
Raymond Carver poem
and did you get what you wanted from this life, even so?
i did.
and what did you want?
to call myself beloved, to feel myself beloved
on this earth.
On my shelf
- "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" - what took me so long!
- "Johnny Got His Gun" - took me 25 years, but finally got it.
- "Moby Dick" - in my eight month of reading
- "Testament of Youth" - Vera Brittain
- "Some Desperate Glory" - best WWI memoir I've ever read.
Snippets
