Returning wanderer
Jan 21, 2008
Got stuck in a busy rut - work projects, cycling, gardening, druidry and then all the family stuff
Just got a propagator so I'm back here searching for stuff on growing from seed, storing herbs and other such stuff...

Long time...
Sep 1, 2005
away - the real world and the other world took me away.
Did I panic...nah I went all Yogic  . The Androids  caught me but fortunately the chip has been rejected. Probably a career limiting move but I'm still me, not a corporate shell  .
Cycling well after a decade as a Lance Armstrong fan it's time to move on. Here's my final LA TDF Haiku...
TDF 2005
========
Zabriskie TT,
Der Kaiser demoralized
by leg strong Armstrong.
The Belgian Quickstep:
Boom-boom Boonen's first salvo,
green jersey hunt starts.
Normal tour day.
To Tours; the peloton cruise
to the Boonen two-step.
Tailwind from Tours;
Disco very best time trial,
Zabriskie tailspins.
Rainy Loire Valley:
After the headbutt,
Oz champ gets revenge for DQ.
Mengin's hairy end;
Vino strikes, Bernucci wins
leaders are late in.
Wegmenn's Deutsche road;
the binary showers stop.
McE eats the sprint.
Long lean Weening wins.
The Vosges leave Lance lonely
to Three T's attacks.
"Chicken" Rasmusson:
suffers like a dog to win,
then dances a polka.
The rest day defense:
Voigt protects his Maillot Jaune
by loving the moment.
The Disco Train tune:
Iles pipers, Valverde wins,
Lance plays Courcheval.
Madeleine escape -
Disco Telegraph to top:
'Vino Galibier!'
Quatorze Juillet!
Super solo Moncoutie
storms to Digne-les-Bains.
Post Alpine sprint.
Escapees lost to Lotto
Robbie trusts team; thanks.
Some like it hot.
Totschnig, Lance, Basso: flavour
Pyrenees hot-pot.
Hincapie hangs on!
Attrition leads Armstrong and
Basso to podium.
Pau: It's a rest day.
Dane in Polka Jersey
preparing strategy.
Last mountain affray.
Pereiro overcomes Evans;
revenge for Sunday.
Il Falco revels;
Vino attack - rivals fraught,
Ullrich still has naught.
Scorching hot Serrano;
Spanish pepper wins in Mende
Ullrich chases third.
'Turbo' Guerini;
Massif Central makes his day,
Le Puy-en-Velay.
It's all about today:
It was all Lance, all the way
Tour victory.
Wet day en Paris;
Vino surprises sprinters,
wins en Champs-Elysees.
Which was celebrated with a dinner of "Big Tex's Tequila Chicken Burritos" (recipe available on request) and Margherita's.

the 3 C's
Oct 4, 2002
Hmmmph cycling not going too well at the mo' due to lower back pain. I know it's my own fault (too much cycling not enough stretching/Yoga)
but it's very frustrating. Although I'm building a Specialized Epic FSR now aka Bike Porn for those in the know... See
http://www.singletrackworld.com/
Cooking - haven't done a new recipe in ages. Still I've got a load of Tagine spices from Morocco so time to try a Tagine!
Cocktails...now that reminds me I must pick up some Margherita mix 
Yes my next journal will have recipes and coktails
