Real quick knitting content: worked a few more rows of the cable swatch for Son of Sweater Project (my second Aran) and a few more inches on the never-freaking-ending strap of the monk’s travel satchel. I’ll post a shot of the cable swatch once I’ve got a full repeat of each pattern done.
So, today’s [...]
I think the dismal experience I had on Tuesday was a combination of under-nourishment and dehydration. I just did the same ride, and I feel far better than I did on Tuesday. Granted, a thunderstorm swept through San Antonio last night, so Spoon’s theory that I was suffering from allergies is still very [...]
Real quick knitting update: I got a cable swatch cast on this weekend to try out the combinations I want for the new Aran. Looks like it might be a little too wide, but we’ll see. I also added a few more inches to the strap for the monk’s bag.
So I did the [...]
So, yesterday I mentioned my cycling accident. Here’s the story of that accident, beginning with inspiration. And hopefully ending with persistance.
Please forgive any editorial errors - I wrote this a while ago and have edited it a couple of times. I’m sure there are mistakes in here somewhere.

Normally when I’m up at 1:30 because of hypoglycemia, I get mad at myself for not managing my diabetes better. But not tonight. I think it’s perfectly understandable and I’m actually kind of proud of it.
Because the reason that I had to get up and re-fuel is that my metabolism is running a [...]
On Sunday morning, Thomas ran his second triathlon. I’ve got some pics of him that I’ll post later on, but for right now, I wanted to share another pic I took. Knowing the readership of the blog, I figured some of you would appreciate this shot.
I was checking out the posted swim times [...]
Well, the Tour is under way over in France. This is going to be a great race. For those of you who have just recently emerged from a five-year coma, Lance Armstrong is the defending champion and is trying to claim a sixth Tour victory.
Nobody’s ever done that. There is a handful [...]
I was perusing the Vogue Knitting Book the other night looking for examples of non-rectangular graphs when I ran across a handy term: “symbolcraft”. Vogue uses that word to refer to what seems to be the most popular method of drawing knitting graphs (a method which I have not yet implemented in the cable [...]
Well, I’m back at work, so I must not be dead yet. The ride up to Kerrville was an Oddyssey, except that I don’t think I visited the underworld during the ride. Also, I did not spend ten years as the love-slave to a hot nymph. Okay, maybe ‘Oddyssey’ is not quite [...]
I never plan my holidays very well. I know they’re coming up, but I just don’t sit down and figure out a plan for what I want to do until the last moment.
Case in point: it’s Memorial Day weekend. Months ago I had planned to drive out to Big Bend with some [...]
