Sometime today, I’ll ride my 3,500th mile for 2006. Given that I didn’t really start riding regularly until April, that’s not half bad. And November has been a terrible month for me getting out to ride, so December is actually looking more promising. And I have a friend with whom I can ride in the …
I finally picked up Love this past weekend, and have since given it a few listens with headphones. As I write this, it’s getting a first spin on the stereo in The Burrow.

I’m in Connecticut. Macy’s Parade is done. The carrots and peppers are made (yesterday, before we left on the 9-hour highway trek). And “Alice’s Restaurant Massacree” is on the stereo. Wanna listen to “Alice”? Click here to give it a spin.
Jerry Seinfeld telling Letterman’s audience to stop laughing during Michael Richards’ apology for last weekend’s racist outburst.
Just one night removed from Bob Dylan, sprite and I went to see Brian Wilson in concert at the wonderful Warner Theatre.
