Breaking Routine

It’s been awhile since we spoke,  but now I’m back. My thought is to post a photo or comment daily – just something seen or considered. It’s a commitment that makes me notice my surroundings more fully.

 

The Importance of Challenges

The Real Work

It may be that when we no longer know what to do
we have come to our real work,

and that when we no longer know which way to go
we have come to our real journey.

The mind that is not baffled is not employed.

The impeded stream is the one that sings.

~ Wendell Berry ~

Leaning Tower

You knew this was coming…

Leave the gun, take the canoli

Canoli and sandwiches on the steps of the duomo in Pisa.

Calling All Gods

I thought I had a direct line to the gods by calling from the duomo in Pisa, but the line was busy.

Necessity

is the mother of invention, and I definitely needed to find a way to clean the mud off my bike after today’s commute. I got this idea from Thomas at Downhill Nuremberg when I was complaining about the difficulty of maintaining a bike in the incessant rain and mud of this area.

My shower is totally lame for washing people, but it was just fine for a very muddy, greasy bike. My chain almost sparkles now, but the rust won’t be far behind.

New Ride

My new ride, all 8.52 kg of it. Tentatively named die Fledermaus.

Thanks to Rick and Izzy!

Just wanna ride my bike

Alvaro, Rose and I were interviewed for this recruiting video. I finally got paid to ride my bike…
