Off day from the rike, yesterslack’s 35 minute effort seemed felicitatious to man and goy, yet the left foot was somewhat troubling of this morning.  So off day it was.  Pity that.  There’s no more time for not working out. On day in The Shop, where instead of framing the bottom edge of the Scoptics  […]

The creatures we once never were arose like howls from the crypt for coffee, and then, once we regained our footing, such as it was, spun off  across town juking and jiving through the police cordons, municipal make-projects and Caltrans craters to the precinct of The Wildman.  He looked good, most of him, except for […]

The week started right with an early morning rike west and circumscribed nearly the entire municipal golf course; on which I likely trespassed greeting a potential freezer full of the town deer herd. Four Point Buck Only. All the homes in this section of PG Eden are mid-century, some still the 1,000 ft sq box […]

Stepped out for the rike and smelled rain.  Augtember?  Nahhh. Yah – about 100 northeast.  We were cheated again. As I riked 190 minutes last week, I’m due for 200 this week.  Spread over 5 sessions, that’s 40 minutes each.  Seems impossible, and yet today, put in a solid 50 minutes, so I’m ahead 10 […]

Furtive splashes four miles out.  Transient white puffs.  A fin, another.  Could this be the first pod of orcas I’ve ever seen in the Bay? I’m in the truck following a dump truck when suddenly we enter a canyon.  Darkness.  Turn on the lights, they’re aimed too low can only glimpse the tail end of […]

A night, and morning of the best sleep outside of Rip Van. And I was going to need it. Check the market performance of AOL and CPST over the past month – you’ll see why. I would have killed myself except that Blue Shield doesn’t cover death. And since I’m now on a new rike […]

For the first time in my short life, I’ve felt Autumn before smelling it. But so much for the good news.  By the only measure important in America, today was a disaster at Castle Slackton. Last Friday’s adolescent antics by AOL’s CEO drove the stock down more than 3%.  The almost incomprehensible pressures of turning […]

You never knew the ugly, angry Harvey.  For which I’m glad.  He revisited last night – I’m all togged out in my WWII bomber crew lambskins and there’s a promenade  in the city.  He’s driving Barnaby, Georgia shotgun, me in the back making sure my shearling shines.  We pass by the Mechanics Hall in which […]

The earth filled stage of Russian drama – We need a T-34 for the play, wonder how much just the turret weights and can a couple of us horse it in the back door to the stage?  By the time I get to the theatre, most of the set has been created, and it’s impressive: […]

Delicious, glorious, happy gloom.  A gloom so wet in London they’d call it drizzle.  And I out into it for back-to-back yesterslack and this AM rikes.  Desirement – build to a 5 day a week program.  So far, so slack. Dressed for deluge, although this was not in the forecast, but every other year or […]
