Things that might be decidedly odd....
Today I was looking at the Excel spreadsheet I made up to keep track of my vacation over the next 10 months or so. I realized that for the first time in a while that I actually have more vacation time than I know what to do with. That even includes days for [...]
I can’t decide how disturbed I should be that the #1 hit on the charts the day I was born was “My Sharona” by The Knack. Eek.
I guess it could be worse. The day my brother Dan was born, the #1 hit was “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now” by Starship. Eew!
Try it [...]
A skeleton crew (Jeff, Ben and I) of our STP team met up for the Different Spokes ride from Gasworks Park to Seward Park. Ken also went on the ride, but he’s fairly active with DS already. We rode straight down there, stopped in Seward Park to rest in the sun for a [...]
I spent most of the afternoon and basically all evening taking part in the third annual photo safari put on my Daniel Brown. Basically, you drive/walk around Seattle in a small team for several hours snapping pictures of things on a list. Some of the stuff is generic (a fountain of your choice), [...]
This morning I got up early and headed over to Montlake Cycle to do some test rides. Robert and I had dropped by there the other week while shopping for bikes, but it was busy and we weren’t able to find a salesperson. First I rode a nice Cannondale (Aluminum frame, Carbon fork, [...]

I woke up to my alarm clock at 8:15am this (Saturday) morning with the plan to meet everybody over at Gasworks for a bike ride at 9am. Of course, I ended up running about 10 minutes late but it was nearly 9:40am by the time everybody had arrived. From there we rode the [...]
After work yesterday, Robert and I went bike shopping. We’re both looking to buy road bikes for riding STP this summer and we’ve both been riding our heavier bikes in the mean time (him a mountain bike, me my hybrid).
We hit up Velo (test rode some nice Bianchi bikes), Montlake Cycle (nobody helped us [...]
For the past couple days, my friend Lisa has been in town on tour with Ultragypsy, a belly dance troop from San Francisco. Last night I saw their performance at ToST in Fremont, which was fun and a nice change from the usual stuff. She crashed on my futon last night and we [...]
Last night, I grabbed a late dinner with Kade and some his friends at Broadway Grill. It was fun to meet some of his friends and of course hang out with him again as well. He knew all the other guys except for one from Utah. Two of them are riders (Michael [...]
