Lone Wolves
When I take my rightful seat on the Iron Throne, there’ll be some changes made, that I can tell you.
Videoblog: Riding Mount Lemmon
Dare I bore you with two short GoPro clips from my Sunday ride to Mount Lemmon? I don’t know about you, but I think it’s great there’s a road just one mile north of our house leading up into the Santa Catalina Mountains, sky islands high above the blazing heat of Tucson, Arizona.

Saturday Bag o’ Wellness
Such a relief, feeling better. And I do mean better, body and tooth. Whatever last weekend’s illness was, it’s gone. I almost think it had to do with the tooth that went bad at the same time. Is that a thing that happens? I could be convinced. The root canal Tuesday morning went as expected: an […]

Five Minutes of Fame
Geeky but funny. A couple of nights ago I read a tweet from a guy who was having a run-in with a birther. In another tweet, the birther left a link to his website. I clicked on it. Hey, who wouldn’t jump on the opportunity to get the TRUTH about Obama? One glance and I knew I wouldn’t find it here: What followed […]
