Below you will find my weblog, or just blog. The name may not strike you right away, but you'll get it after I ask you one question: How many letters are there in the alphabet?

I use these twenty−six letters to share moments I experience, thoughts I come upon or ideas I have that I don't feel like keeping to myself. Writing them gives me the ability to share with you.

Maybe you'll laugh, maybe you'll swallow hard, maybe you will learn something about me that you didn't previous know, or maybe you'll relate the words below to something in your own experiences. You may even know the subjects I allude to between the paragraph tags.

So much that I will often write without proofing. If I offend you, it is nothing personal, simply my opinion. I'll complain about things that bother me, things I find offensive and just random thoughts I hold onto long enought to transfer to my blog.

The only thing you need know is that I love to write.

On The Road [Bike], Again

Sunday, April 11th, 2010

For those unaware, last July I was in a bike accident and broke my back. Today was the first time I have been on a bike since July 21, 2009; and I must say, I was surprised that it was just like riding a bike…

I’ll give you a minute while that sinks in.

I test rode the 2010 Cervélo S2 around the block (in traffic) and wasn’t nervous at all. It may have helped that I was pacing traffic and riding a little more aggressively.

In two weeks, I am participating in the Hill Country Ride for AIDS and could use all the support I can get! It’s going to be interesting trying to ride 65 miles with zero bike training since July…

Emotional Elimination With A Twist Of Dragon

Monday, January 18th, 2010

I received a phone call last week from the Travis County District Attorney’s Office regarding the accident I was in last July.

The discussion briefly covered how I healed and the challenges related to recovering damages for the loss I incurred. Then I was asked a serious question. I was asked what I felt should be Greg’s punishment for hitting me with his car.

I was overcome with a feeling that I can only peg as being discomfort. The only reason I know it was discomfort is because, through the process of elimination, I ruled out the other big emotions.

Happy = smile.
Sad = tear.
Bashful = red cheeks.
Angry = scowl.
Overjoyed = the moment you discover what this ninja is hiding behind his head (:40).

Initially, I wanted to lend him my bike and borrow his PT Cruiser (Greg, not the ninja) and invite him to take a trip down Memory, (Brodie), Ln. That fantasy passed.

I don’t reflect on negatives by remembering the people involved. I remember how it, (being the negative situation), changed me. How it improved who I am and how I live. More importantly, I move on.

I opted to let the prosecutor decide.
