The Mystery of the Fortune Cookie
The other night I ordered Chinese food. I don’t necessarily enjoy the accompanying fortune cookies, but I always enjoy (or look forward to) what the wise saying or proverb will be that is tucked inside. They’re often inspiring or cryptic messages such as, “you will live long and prosper,” or “you are going to meetContinue reading “The Mystery of the Fortune Cookie”

Bicycling As An Everyday Activity
This is a pretty good video about bicycle commuting that I found at Commute By Bike. I suppose it’s a needed video…but I don’t necessarily agree with everything it says. Like many articles and videos about bicycling they make it seem novel or like something out of the norm, when it doesn’t have to be.Continue reading “Bicycling As An Everyday Activity”

When I Grow Up…
Today I was talking with someone about mid-life crises, how I keep waiting for mine to kick in. They asked if I were going to buy a red sports car when it happens…nope, I said, I want a new cargo bike. Anyhow it got me to thinking about age and my own mortality…the next stageContinue reading “When I Grow Up…”

Curried Fish Chowder
Firstly I want to say that I called this a “chowder” but technically it is not; in order for a recipe to be a chowder–curried or not–it should include both a salted pork product (salt pork, bacon, or ham) and potatoes, this recipes has neither. Thus this is really a chunky version of a curriedContinue reading “Curried Fish Chowder”

A Good Read
I finished reading this book last night and found it so good that I thought I’d pass it along, virtually speaking of course. The book is very moving and literally brought tears to my eyes at certain points. Mr. Albom is a prolific author but this is only his second work of non-fiction (Tuesday’s withContinue reading “A Good Read”

I Can See Clearly Now
Ok, this may seem silly, but for as long as I have been riding through bone-chilling Buffalo winters I have not worn any sort of eye protection…I can’t tell you how many snow showers I’ve squinted through. I’ve seen other people biking with ski goggles and thought about that, but then the other day IContinue reading “I Can See Clearly Now”
