July 28, 2012.  I swung a leg over the Silver Bullet and shoved off toward Mercersburg.  This was, I hoped, not to be a repeat of my first attempt several years ago, which ended 25 miles early at a McDonald’s, … Continue reading →

How far?

Posted on March 7, 2011 by the sloth

Yesterday, Christie and one of the troop’s co-leaders asked me if I’d go camping with the Girl Scouts this Spring.  There’s a wall tent with cots for the Dads to share, so I wouldn’t need to bring a tent.  “Cool,” … Continue reading →

Getting off my ass

Posted on April 6, 2010 by the sloth

It seems that lately I’ve had this thing I don’t usually have.  It feels kinda weird.  Not a latest-designer-STD weird, but almost a good kinda weird.  They call it motivation.  I hate that word. A few weeks back I started … Continue reading →

Today I rode up 9th and Allen to the top of the hill where it intersects with 7th.  But today’s death ride was accompanied by Molly, who is three, and the trailer she rides in.  That’s right, folks.  I pulled … Continue reading →

Quit

Posted on April 9, 2009 by the sloth
