To the Junkie that Stole the Things out of my Saddle Bag (and his Friend that Stole a Bike)

This Saturday, I was disheartened to discover that after a joyful 20-minute farmer’s market excursion, a thief decided to purloin the objects in my bike saddle bag. Perhaps it was punishment for my offensive purple leg warmers. Perhaps it was irritation at realizing my bike was locked. Perhaps it was just fate. [read more]

A Different “Travel Perspective”

I read this great article today called For Female GIs, Combat Is a Fact. The article analyzes the work that women are doing in Iraq and analyzes the restrictions on females in combat that should make this work out-of-reach. Being female, I tend to side with ‘em and if they want to go [read more]

This really has nothing to do with what’s going on in the office, but some of you may recall that a few months ago I posted about Pacific Crest Half-Ironman in June. In order to prepare, I have been training a whole bunch and this weekend did my first triathlon. It was a [read more]

This article makes me sick to my stomach: U.S. students say press freedoms go too far. Sean thinks the kids don’t know what they’re talking about….I think that’s scarier than anyt [read more]

Star Wars: Return of the Sith

Anyone else have 12 am tickets tonight? For someone who hasn’t stayed up past midnight since New Years Eve (you think I’m joking - I’m not), this is a pretty big deal. I like Star Wars, although I wouldn’t describe myself as a die hard fan. There’s just something about going to [read more]

I Want to Ride my Bicycle

Date: May 6th, 2005 |

2 comments

My life has been dominated by bicycles recently: last weekend, I headed to Sun River, Oregon to ride the course of my half-ironman. I had heard that the road was closed in winter, but it was the end of April/beginning of May, so I didn’t really worry about it. Unfortunately, we should of [read more]

Well, not exactly. More like Chi-town, as in my 36-hour destination for the weekend. I’m heading out this afternoon for my mother’s surprise 50th birthday party. She’s flying in on Saturday, supposedly to see my sister, aunt and few other family members. She has no clue that friends and family from [read more]

I posted about this on the boards too, but every once and awhile, I write an article…and promtply forget about it, only to stumble upon it weeks or even months later. I wrote this one quite a bit ago but it’s kinda fun. I’m sure that it will go up on the site [read more]

New Year Resolutions - A Little Late

Date: January 11th, 2005 |

2 comments

I have a few resolutions for this year - most interesting (and the most physically challenging) is my quest to do the Pacific Crest Half-Ironman at the end of June. I’ve never been to central Oregon, and now seems as good of a time as any to start training, seeing as how I live [read more]
