No Car Necessary

Conrad/New York Times The title of this post is taken directly from a July article in the New York Times titled, Hauling Cargo, No Car Necessary. It’s an inspiring article (and short video below) regarding, not surprisingly, cargo bikes. I’ve been interested in carryingContinue reading “No Car Necessary”

My Favorite Summertime Sandwich
Tomatoes, basil, and razor-thin slivers of hot chilies straight from the garden; layered with raw onion and sharp cheddar, then slathered with mayonnaise on homemade 100% whole wheat bread (click here for a recipe). In a word: dinner!

Stand Alone (part two)
This video was posted on Facebook today and I thought I’d share it in reference to a previous post. If I can manage to squirrel away the $77.00 I may still get this…but I’m still on the fence about it. I will say that this very brief video is pretty convincing. I’d love to hearContinue reading “Stand Alone (part two)”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#208)…with a link, a few comments, and another photo.
Sometimes (more often than not, actually) the only thing I carry on this bike is me. While it weighs in the upwards of 60 lbs. and is more then 6 ft. long I still find it the most comfortable and fun bike to ride (out of my 3 main bikes). Not only does it’s uprightContinue reading “Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#208)…with a link, a few comments, and another photo.”

Marie and Pierre Curie on Their Honeymoon
Photo downloaded from Britannica. I find this photo inspiring. The link to it was sent to me by a cousin of mine (thanks Joe!). It’s a photo of the famed physicists and chemist Marie and Pierre Curie. While they shared a Nobel Prize together, Marie was the first person to receive two. The photo wasContinue reading “Marie and Pierre Curie on Their Honeymoon”

Squiggly Man Makes Me Smile
I don’t even remember how I came upon this site…you know how it goes…one page leads to the next and then another, not unlike flipping through a magazine I suppose. Anyhow I came across this 4 minute video titled Everything Will Be OK. I kept waiting for something to happen, but nothing ever did…it’s justContinue reading “Squiggly Man Makes Me Smile”

Ezekiel Bread French Toast with Caramelized Nectarine and Apple-Cranberry Syrup
The morning before last as I was pouring my second cup of coffee I heard a common request from my teenage son in the next room, “dad, will you make me breakfast” (translation: will you make me French toast…his favorite breakfast). Having not gone shopping in a while I knew the cupboards were somewhat bareContinue reading “Ezekiel Bread French Toast with Caramelized Nectarine and Apple-Cranberry Syrup”
