    Diabetes Sucks: Help Me Raise $3000 in Tour de Cure Chicago 2016

    October 18, 2015 - By 

    In December, 2014 I was diagnosed with Type II diabetes, and will be riding in Tour de Cure Chicago on Team Red again this year to raise money for research and to help STOP DIABETES. Why? because diabetes sucks! For the second year running, as a person living with diabetes I wear the Red Rider jersey for training and on the day of the ride. This year, if I raise $1000 by January 1, 2016, I will commit to ride 65 miles on the road, instead of the 40 mile ride on the trail. I’m not currently comfortable as a…

    Fears, I Has Them (But I’m Working On It)

    October 13, 2015 - By 

    Lately, I haven’t been riding any of my bikes much. Over the summer, I went on a weekend trip with David and we had a terrific time, and I rode more than 30 miles, two days in a row.

    THE MAGAZINE by Lisa Fischbeck “I don’t have any desire to be an Episcopalian. I just like the Church of the Advocate,” says the man who has been coming to the Advocate for 5 years. The Bishop’s visitation is ahead, and I’m trying to identify people who might want to get confirmed. from Pocket http://ift.tt/1KUgXmK via IFTTT

    Poor Josh Duggar

    August 20, 2015 - By 

    Did he have a paid Ashley Madison account, or was it someone's idea of a joke back in 2013? Frankly, back then he was only known as a spokesman for the Family Research Council, not as an accused child molester. So if it's not him, it's someone who knew his name and had a sly sense of humor. But they used a valid credit card that took subscription charges for months, so the identity of the Ashley Madison subscriber ought to be verifiable. Oh, the schadenfreude. The weird "family values" of the Duggars are a never-ending source of embarrassing detail.…
