“She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah, Yeah”

I was recently visiting with a friend I don’t know all that well. I like him, he likes me, we ride scooters together, but we seldom get to just sit together and visit. But a couple of weeks ago, I sat with Dave and his girlfriend Kim at the Hofbrau House and got to know [...]

Walnuts Are Dropping in the Yard

Gosh, so many things to fill you in on…but I have to watch the length of these posts or I’ll get what-for from Suzanne. 
First: We both woke up yesterday with a clear decision…we’re going to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula on Sunday. Yes, it’ll be chilly there. Well, fine. Why bemoan it. Let’s just deal with the [...]

What We Do for Fun

Take my advice: Don’t even ask about the golf tournament.
As for me…well, this is what I’ll be doing again tonight. That’s me on my scooter. I’d forgotten how good I look on it.

Quirky Is Important

What you don’t know is that I’ve been having a helluva time uploading some pictures to this blog. Apparently there’s a little glitchipoo in communication between Apple (this laptop), the iPhone (my camera), and WordPress (this blog software). But our hero (and nephew) Jerod stopped by for dinner yesterday, and after dinner he FIXED IT! [...]

My Badges Are Better Than Your Badges

Yes, Reader, I rode my scooter in the rain. One thing I’ve learned is that if I cancel a ride because it looks like rain, then I miss an awful lot of great rides in the rain.
Below are pictures of our blinged-out scoots…mine is the white one, and Jim’s is the orange one.
Once we finished [...]

Bling Bling Bling

I’m supposed to ride one of my Vespas to Waynesville, Ohio this morning (it’s only about 30 miles from here) so my scooter friend, Jimmy, can help me pimp my ride. I think I told you a while back that I’d ordered some badge bars and some nifty badges (all from the UK) for both [...]

To Do: 8/5/09

To Do:

Get the poster they keep promising to send me for the FM book signings. 
Buy ink refills for that fancy pen. It’s probably bad form to run out of ink at these things.
Write the blurb for the FM newsletter. Make it interesting enough, but don’t oversell it. 
Buy magenta ink cartridge at Staples. Why the entire [...]

Stinky Cow Patties=Happy

So, tonight we go out with Heidi and Cathy  and Tiffany and Dan to Riverside Korean in Covington. I swear, we love that place. And we’re totally crazy about Heidi and Cathy and Tiffany and Dan, too, so we couldn’t be happier…well, if you were joining us, Reader, then I’d be happier. I could also [...]

Ennui Busters

So, I wrote a quick reply yesterday afternoon to the old boyfriend and got the longest email in recorded history shortly thereafter…he attached a number of pictures. Yes, I can still see Randy in the pictures, but it’s hard to get past the thickness that’s sort of enveloped him.  I’ll write him a short note [...]

Let’s Visit for a Minute

Deb says I use the term “visit” a lot. I’m like, “What the heck are you talking about?” She says I’m always visiting…on the phone, in email, with her when she’s in the tub, on bike rides, in person, in the car, in people’s homes (FYI: I do not visit on the phone). For instance, [...]
