The end of Ultimate
Summer season of Ultimate is done and I’m feeling a bit sad. My throws and play reads are finally getting consistent. The team is getting decent “flow” in the game. We’re doing awesome on defense. As with every season, first couple of games were atrocious. I couldn’t run more than 30 seconds before gasping for […]
On little breaks
Every morning and evening I get to take a break from regular life and take our dog Hank for a walk. Some days it’s easy, some days it’s a bit harder. Sometimes every blade of grass requires a sniff. Sometimes it’s all about the destination. Sometimes it’s about the escape. On our evening walks I’ve […]
Зламала ше кормань деска
I’ve been singing Ruby to sleep lately. The repertoire so far has included some Red Hot Chili Peppers, Barenaked Ladies, Djordje Balašević (a post for another time) and one of my favourite songs from my childhood: Plow steering board has broken Here is a video of this particular song being performed by my mom’s cousin’s […]

You hit the vacation button, two weeks go by and the dank crawlspace now seems more like a poorly lit tunnel. Not great, but it seems […]

What is in your riding kit?
This post has been delayed due to an awesome date with my Wife. Previously I mentioned permanent gadgets attached to my bike, which got me thinking – what are all the upgrades I’ve done to my 2006 Giant FCR3? What exactly is in my ride kit, and should I change anything to make it better? […]
On T-rusty Metal Steeds
Today something miraculous happened. I had a choice of heading out of the house in our car, or I could take my quite neglected bike. Normally, I would rationalize my choice of the 1.5 ton dinosaur-juice fueled as time savings. Truth is, I’ve grown scared of my super light two wheeler. I’ve gotten tangled up […]
