  • Someone finally called the cops on us dumpster diving. Thankfully I'd be happy to explain this criminal activity to a future employer. #
  • There's nothing like looking at housing in San Francisco to make Boulder (and just about anywhere else) look cheap cheap cheap! #
  • I took my head to Boulder last night, and it felt great. #
  • To acquire something is to one day discard something. Thank goodness for Craigslist, compost, and eBay. Oh minimalism how I've missed you. #
  • Am I moving back to Boulder? http://bit.ly/b0h5pR Am I wandering, or lost? http://bit.ly/91NLr9 #
  • Continuing my Rincon Red Box reconnaissance. Hopefully the road isn't washed out in the burn area! #
  • Spent 11 hours in the clouds. They're colder and wetter in person than in the movies. Need warm shower. Foods. #
  • Staging a Boulder comeback, to recover from my 2nd Pasadena comeback. I feel like I have an abusive relationship with Caltech sometimes. #
  • The scent of love lost yields instant tears. Why are olfactory memories so strong? #

  • I did not bike to work today, but only because I don't have a job. Luckily Upper Clamshell Truck Trail is all kinds of awesome! #
  • I feel like my life has become too much overhead, and not enough living. #
  • We need more bicycles, and less Zoloft™. We need time enough for love. http://bit.ly/crtcLm #
  • Exactly 2600 days is new personal record, but somehow it just doesn't feel like much of an accomplishment. #
  • FB == http://bit.ly/bF8vkq #
  • Ah, Perl. It's been a long time since we spent any time together. #

  • Sometimes I wonder if Caltech's therapists wish they'd taken more math and physics… just to understand the analogies we end up making. #
  • Reveled in some of the season's last goosebumps with the cool breeze at the top of Chantry Flats fire road. #
  • Women of Earth: please figure out what you want in your romantic relationships and demand it early and often, for we are easily confused. #
  • Listening to Yo La Tengo clearly not helping anything. Must need bike ride. To be followed by a more different bike ride. #
  • Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations: If the flux of soil downhill > long term rate of soil production, we're screwed: http://bit.ly/auwf6O #
  • Somewhat desperately trying to recapture the joy of not knowing what the hell is going on. #
  • Anyone want to do an 80 km Monrovia Canyon, Rincon Red Box, Mt. Wilson Toll Rd. overnight loop? http://bit.ly/d8AE1h #
  • Beautiful S24O above Chantry. Sparkling city, then glowing below the fog, blanketed with cottony white at dawn. But so lonely. #
  • Que de hauts que de basC'est la vie dans ce monde
    Triste réalité #
  • Thoughts on Nils Gilman's Deviant Globalization via @longnow. When corporations write the law, all markets become gray: http://bit.ly/ckRpp5 #

  • Visited the quintessential reasonable guy. Made it back to Pasadena. Tired in multiple dimensions. Bathing sounds like a good idea. #
  • Acid and heroin soaked 1960s rock and roll, or a bike ride… #
  • Taking George Church's Genomics and Computational Biology course at MIT… on the interwebernet http://bit.ly/9KXAxW #
  • I clearly do not understand how this works. But that doesn't mean I can't fix it. But that doesn't mean I can't break it. #
  • Radio of the Mexican guys working next door is playing a song I heard in Chihuahua, over and over, about leaving women & working in the US. #
  • I wonder if I can make it all the way up the Mt. Wilson Toll Rd. while crying. Only one way to find out! #
  • I wish doctors would prescribe more bicycle rides and less Zoloft. #
  • Telling stories, even true stories, is so easy. But telling whole true stories well is very hard, especially when they're about yourself. #
  • Some thoughts on "You Just Don’t Understand: Men and Women in Conversation", by Deborah Tannen http://bit.ly/9HHx2J #
  • Upping the hill, meditating on multimode marital metacommunication. #

  • Buzzed from the bike. Buzzed from the bourbon. Ahhh. #
  • Experimenting with Chinese-Mexican fusion for lunch. I'll call it… SzechMex! #
  • The topographic absorption spectra of bicycles… or why touring is a lot like life: http://bit.ly/91m6Vo #
  • I think that with a 13% unemployment rate in California it should be easier to get people to come biking with me on weekdays. #
  • OMG! Weedandcoffeedirtroadbicyclepicniclibrarythriftshopiloveyou… #
  • Maybe I'll try and ride from Santa Barbara to Pasadena without ever getting on the PCH. I wonder if I could do it all on dirt roads? #
  • I need a hug. Where's that vodka. #
  • I can't sleep. How am I going to get that 0730 train? Am I really just never supposed to leave town? Never did find the vodka… #
  • I guess I'll try and get this emotional train wreck on an actual train. What are the chances of the same train having two wrecks at once? #
  • Made it to the Montgomery Monastery above Santa Barbara for some much needed staring into scenic California space. #
  • Coffee, hammock, reading, hammock, hiking, hammock, eating, hammock, sleeping. #
  • Headed down the coast at dawn from the mountain people to the boat people, then home via Mulholland Drive on Monday. #

  • Riding my bike up the Mt. Wilson Toll Road to celebrate #420 #
  • Bike touring in Chihuahua didn't remind me about what riding in the rain is like. Or hot showers w/ dry clothes afterward! #
  • Out into the rain for a bicycle talk. Thank goodness for fenders. #
  • Three weeks of bike touring in Mexico's Sierra Madre cost me all of $500, including $200 for transport to and from Chihuahua. What a deal! #
  • Got 4 mystery wines from Chronicle for blind tasting. All pinot noir it turned out. Exactly nobody guessed that! #
  • I feel the way bank robbers must feel before they go out on that last job that ends up getting them all killed. That is to say, optimistic. #
  • Going to watch the Coen Bros. "A Serious Man" in the hopes that it'll make me feel like my life is going well. #
  • Biked up Mt. Wilson today. Again tomorrow, w/ chicas and a picnic. Feeling a little girl crazy. #
