Grasshopper 4
Grasshopper weekend! So while everyone was toughing it out on fort Ross road, Meyers grade and Joy road... I took myself on my own little jaunt out to the coast via Coleman valley road which is one of my favorite roads ever! I've been working on doing the round trip ride from my house out to the beach which is about a 70 mile ride. Since i have such limited time due to life , job1, job2, kids,and stuff, I only get to ride about once a week so its been hard building up to it. But i think i'm finally there! I basically opted to do this one really slow stopping whenever I felt like it to take in the scenery and enjoy. Success! It was a gorgeous day! And even though i goofed off plenty i still managed to make it back in time before the boys finished with my jersey pockets laden in baked goods from wildflower bakery but not before being passed by Levi as he finished the route, which takes other normal human beings between 3 and 4 hours to finish, in a scant 2 hours and some change...
when great worlds colide...
go!!
super gratuitous shot of my bike with pretty landscape...
had to stop at the top and take some snaphots...
i win! its was a beautiful day at the beach...
as always no ride would be great without a stop at the bakery to carbo load before heading home....went back meet the boys with my jersey pockets loaded with baked goods!

Sashimi love- dinner with ma and pa
Well apparently there's been a break in production cause i seem to only be able to cook elaborate meals with matching cocktails. Something about getting everyone around the dining room table talking, laughing, eating and drinking is so inspiring...looking forward to getting back behind the machine.

Chris Wells aka "the Crizzler"
Happy Birthday Crizzle!! If you don't know Chris Wells you should. Pretty much the nicest guy around, artist extraordinaire, crushing bike racer who often kills cerrtain famous rock star bike builders and amazing bf (boyfriend? best friend? it works both ways...).
Below are a few pics of crizzle'ss abilities in the art world. These were taken recently at crizzle's last show in the city for "We Ride at Night" an up and coming skateboard company supported by a gang of merry clever artists. They are a series of three colored pencil drawings depicting various scenes of the midwest. The whole installation is finished off nicely with one of Chris's video collages of different members of his family ( who are all incidently from the midwest as is Chris himself...) donning techno glasses which takes them each to a different scene in their lives. The show will be up for a month at gallery "Heist". Go check it out now.....
Also if you would like to see more on Chris Wells you can check him out at OFAD an art collective website he and a few of his friends put together for our viewing and exploring pleasure...

Seventeen Years Ago...
Seventeen years ago Sim first took a ball point pen to my arm and started sketching what would be his first sleeve. Many session and venues, including my living room later, we had the thing semi finished but then life got in the way as it often does and we never finished. So a marriage, some babies, and various career changes later we're back at it to finish it this time! And it feels damn good to return to this part of my life a little older and whole lot wiser..i hope...
new outline...
massage table the way to go for those super sensitive spots like the old crook in the arm...
