This week I have to mail out several items. The guy at the post office recognizes me, and usually asks about my bike. It was funny when I went in all dressed up for work one day, and he asked why I wasn’t biking. I wasn’t expecting to be recognized without my bike. That actually [...]

Sundays Are Full of Plans And Short on Action

No bike ride today. I just don’t feel like it. It is nice and sunny outside, but the current air temp is 38F with the wind chill. Boyfriend has a baseball game today in a few hours. I figured I would use the time while he is at baseball to get some yard work done. [...]

Haha, that gave me an image of me as Kermit the Frog. Good for a quick giggle, but it’s time for more of my usual preachiness masquerading as personal insights. :)
I’m an addict. I’m sorry to all of you that thought I was perfect. I am not. I have developed a horrible addiction over the [...]

Well, I really, really think that I don’t want to do RAGBRAI after all. I mean, I do, but I don’t. I think it would be a blast, but think of all that I could get done if I just took a week off of work and puttered around the house. But riding across Iowa [...]
