    Getting the Blogging Bug (and the Traveling Bug) Again, But No Shicken Dobbies, Please

    I recently rediscovered an old favorite – Robert Llewellyn’s blog is full of funny and interesting observations of life in the Cotswolds, where he keeps chickens and answers questions about whether there will ever be another episode of Red Dwarf, and browsing some of the entries makes me want to blog more (and better), and other entries make me want to travel more (and sooner). Most of the LlewBlog is about… life as you live it, especially if you’re interested in quiet country life in the Cotswolds, but occasionally have these other lives where you vacuum spaceships with groinal attachments,…

    Relay for Life in Second Life STARTS NOW

    You can donate to the American Cancer Society via my Second Life team, the Steelhead Salmons, at this page.  I've donated $50.00 to start myself off, and I have a goal of $100.00.

Listen to T1 Radio today for music and announcements direct from the track in the Relay sims. We're looking to help raise $2m US Dollars this weekend. Why We Formed a Relay Team Welcome…

    My new BIKE and other updates

    So yesterday after a really rough day at work (my main reservation system was down all day, ALL DAY, and I had to stick around waiting until a tech IMed me at the end of the day) David took me to our local bike shop. And look what followed us home! We’re keepin’ em! My bike is a Specialized Crossroads Sport Step-thru (that’s what they call women’s bikes now) and David’s is a Specialized Allez Elite. He’s serious about road riding, I’m just getting back in the saddle (heh). I still have a mountain bike that I haven’t ridden in…
