Gary Fisher on Bicycling

Firstly I just want to say that I am not trying to promo Gary Fisher bicycles with this short clip, but more specifically bicycles and bicycling in general. It is a clip of Gary Fisher talking passionately about bicycles (but of course promoting his own line of bikes). I just think it’s a great pro-bicycleContinue reading “Gary Fisher on Bicycling”

Things That Can Be Carried On A Bike (#319 & #320)

#319: two freshly baked loaves of whole-wheat Pullman-style loaves of bread, a canvas bag containing a few books and other things, an 8-quart plastic container (which earlier contained raw bread dough but now hold 4 chicken fingers).   #320: a Fender Stratocaster in a hard-shell case, and Chinese take out food.

Five Quotes from Joseph Campbell

“If you do follow your bliss you put yourself on a kind of track that has been there all the while, waiting for you, and the life that you ought to be living is the one you are living. Follow your bliss and don’t be afraid, and doors will open where you didn’t know theyContinue reading “Five Quotes from Joseph Campbell”

Front Yard Broccoli in the Morning

OK, so I know that’s a hokey title for this post…but the photo is what it is. This morning, just before I left for work, I went out to the front yard garden–coffee cup in hand–to see if rabbits had a buffet last night (they didn’t…yet) and was taken by how the sun was reflectingContinue reading “Front Yard Broccoli in the Morning”

Chilled Blueberry Soup with Espresso, Triple Sec, and Yogurt Garnish

This is a very simple and refreshing warm-season soup that is both refreshing and nourishing. I do not have a typed recipe for this (though I do have pictures) and these are the ingredients that I used: Orange juice, coffee, triple sec, sugar, a small amount of cornstarch, heavy cream, yogurt, and of course freshContinue reading “Chilled Blueberry Soup with Espresso, Triple Sec, and Yogurt Garnish”

Public Art…Wheel Sculpture and Yarn Bomb (updated)

On my way to work the other day I noticed two artists assembling the above piece. It’s on the corner of Allen and Franklin and would have caught my eye anyhow but because it was being built out of bicycle wheels I stopped and talked to them (figures, one of the few times I forgotContinue reading “Public Art…Wheel Sculpture and Yarn Bomb (updated)”

How To Simply Live

The title of this post is a question not a statement, and I pose it mostly to myself. It could easily be rearranged to say How to Live Simply and have the same meaning. To live simply and to simply live are one-in-the-same in my opinion…and I’m still trying to figure out how to doContinue reading “How To Simply Live”
