Why, oh why?

Why did my phone ring twice from Pittsburgh numbers at 4:45 AM with nothing but hissing static on the other end?

Weekend miscellany

Saturday morning I was futzing around on my work machine, which really is my primary machine nowadays because I’m lazy, installing the latest version of Firefox, when right after it completed my screen went black.

Finally, a bike post!

Not that I haven’t been riding, but just haven’t been writing about it much lately. Yesterday I went after work for a lovely drive up to Sabino Canyon and back. I got motivated to do that ride because it looked very pretty going up there on Sunday with my evil stepmom and Zachary, [...]

We are a GO!

Seems like the house is going to be ours. Got a call from our realtor person last night, and they’re having a hard time getting both signatures from the previous owners. Apparently it’s some sort of divorce situation, and the woman is in Florida and has signed our offer, and the guy is [...]
