I Love Cynics!

Back up and running. Never had that much trouble updating WordPress before. I suspect I missed some basic instruction. What was most odd was that all of the administrative functions worked just fine, but there was absolutely no display from the user side. Strangeness, indeed.
Anyway, it appears to be working again. If anyone notices [...]

Blog is not working. I has a sad.

Just realized that this blog turned five years old a bit over a week ago. Oddly, that doesn’t add up to a ton of posts. As many promises of “posting more” as I’ve made, you’d think there’d be more! Might as well make that promise again. I will do my best to post at least [...]

I’d been lettin’ it go for a while. Updated to version 2.7 and added a Twitter feed. I’m sooooo Web 2.0.

My trusty Toyota Corolla had over [...]

Passed the basic rider course. It was both the most nerve wracking and enjoyable thing I’ve done in some time. As the instructor said, “Get over your anxieties and you’ll have a great time.” The man can read souls. I think my main problem was with clutching. It’s been ten years since I’ve driven something [...]

Today I signed up for the MSF Basic Rider Course. I can’t believe the hours they set for these classes. The first day, a Thursday, you attend a class from 5 p.m. until 10 p.m. with class first and then an exam. Who in their right mind thinks taking a written test at 10 p.m. [...]

Today I passed the Motorcycle permit written test. Next month, I’m hoping to take the Basic Rider course that’s offered by a local group. I just have to get my cash together for that, as it’s not exactly cheap.
And I have to admit, cheap is the goal of this midlife crisis. The bike I have [...]
