Leaving LA was about as much fun as
entering it. 5 th of July and the city was distinctly hung

world with bleary eyes. The beach as I rode along it on the quiet
bike path, was ... Read more >

City cycling.
It's only fun if you're not actually
trying to get anywhere.
It doesn't help that everything is in Spanish.
I shouldn't be surprised, California

My legs hurt.
But it's ok because I
found myself a couch. And couches are basically a wonder drug. After

Something happened to my

doing so.
I stayed in Hoquiam for an

Dry?
Sun?
Warm?
All these things have been a vague and
far off memory for the last four days. I've woken up shivering three
days out of four and put wet socks into squelching shoes and

Ever had a great idea? The one you get
at two am just as you're drifting off to sleep. Usually when you wake
