Hobbling and Humility
The Expert drove me to work this morning. He brought in my purse, my stool to rest the giant foot upon. I hobbled in to the office. I am surprised at the number of people who laugh at the sight of a boot. What is so funny about it? I need a glue gun and some fancy gemstones […]
When the Going Gets Tough…
…The Tough wear a boot. @#*($%!…… thumbs up. I would like to tell you that I did this during a massive bike crash. Or a fall across a finish line, but the truth of the matter is that I dropped like a toddler onto my driveway this morning for no reason… and now I have […]

Spinning with an Expert
Raining and icky here today. The scheduled 38 miler on the bike was postponed. I would ride in the cold rain, but not by myself. And the Expert said I wasn’t roping him into my insanity. Instead, I made him a part of my insanity for the blog. We took to a spin class plus […]
