someone to lean on
is it wrong that in the evenings you are excited about morning coming because you can start drinking coffee again?
we had family in town this weekend. it was a good time, ate some yum food, played a few rowdy rounds of the card game Euchre, picked up a box full of pecans outside and played with the dogs. good stuff, but we get worn out from visitin and so me and pie took a little nap.
i'm knitting hearts this week. lets see if i can pull off a few good craftista things before the holiday known as V-Day gets here.
everyone is well aware now that sheldon brown has passed on. i suppose everyone has a story about visiting his site at one point or another. mine was when i decided to go fixed and it was fun to read his articles on stopping/braking. for instance:
"Many cyclists shy away from using the front brake, due to fear of flying over the handlebars. This does happen, but mainly to people who have not learned to modulate the front brake."
modulate the front brake? reminded me of a segment years ago on the howard stern radio show (when it was on free radio) and they had a recording of his dad talking bout proper modulation for the radio and mixed it with some techno. his dad also sings 'the bear went over the mountain'.
so ya anyway. sheldon. RIP. and thank you for your quirkiness and sharing your knowledge.
i went to east texas to visit my mom and pops a couple weeks ago. we hit the big circus, canton flea market. i got some great bargains and finds there. a bunch of homespun yarn someone found in a old abandoned farmhouse. cool.
we also hit up some antique shops in my hometown. i love this kind of stuff.
i picked up a couple old wooden ironing boards and some faded fabric. someone's domestic treasures at one time. im honored.
here's my open mouth breather.
he moves around during the day to hit the sun spots. lays there till he's panting. its like eating hot sauce till your sweating. the texas way.
