Moving...

I'm trying something new.

From this point on, new posts will be made here:

Saturday

All wheels, all day.

We two-wheeled it through Snohomish County. Below is Index, WA. This area is one of my favorite day rides from Seattle. Just before we stopped for these photos, I was reminiscing on the early Seattle days --all of my travel was on the Metro bus and I hadn't seen any of this. I'm so grateful to get out of the city on the bikes and really be able to experience the magnificence of it all.





And then there was skate. We met some friends out at the Lynnwood Roll-a-way. I'm pretty sure most bikers finish their days on skates.

The birthday

I spent last weekend in Baltimore celebrating my mom's 60th.
We threw a killer party.

The band

Half of Churchburner at the Autopsy Room earlier this month.
When this recording is ready, the new tracks will go up on myspace.

I just like this.

Conquered

I'm a little late with this update, but I wanted to document a success from this past weekend. It was in the mid-50's and sunny in Seattle last Saturday, so we headed east on the bikes with some friends. Apparently it was just the right time to overcome it, and we were out there anyway, so we revisited "THAT" road. It was on that road that THIS happened.

Jarrod was definitely ready to put it behind him, but I can still hear that crash and I can still feel the adrenaline and I wasn't sure I was up for it. But we went back there again, with Josh and his girl behind me and Jarrod behind them. It was easier than I thought it would be to turn onto that road, ride it slowly all the way through. It was mind over matter, and I had the option to make it a big deal or not. I chose not, until we were finished, and could celebrate everybody making it through that hairpin just fine. And we all did, and it's officially behind us now.

* no, this isn't the actual road, it 's just playing"THAT" road in today's production.

Love and Stars

From Rob Brezny's Free Will Astrology this week:

"Just because somebody doesn't always love you the way
you wish they would, doesn't mean they don't love you
the best they can and with all they have." 

This is from the Leo horoscope, but whatever. Wishing you all lots of love this VD.
