The Minotaur and me…

I’ve had some unusual things hap­pen to me while cycling, but this is going to rate as the weird­est. I was rid­ing my moun­tain bike around some trails on the cam­pus of the school I work at, when I came around a cor­ner and saw this: As I stared at it, and it stared back at […]

Blogging a Bike Ride

I’m not gig­ging a lot right now. Most of my time is taken up with teach­ing. I’m doing some stuff with the Austin Jazz Band, which is busier than I thought it’d be. They did put some pic­tures from a few gigs up on their web­site here. So that’s why my blog has been a […]

Dante made my travel arrangments

Where to start? I can’t even imag­ine. When last I left you, I was sit­ting on a plane that was sup­pos­edly about to take off. Need­less to say, that didn’t quite work out. I was still sit­ting there two hours later, and trust me, it was even hot­ter and even more stinky. There was all […]

Tony and I went to col­lege together back in the 90’s, and he’s really […]

The Stones, Lance Armstrong, The Lady in the Water, and the Worst smell ever.

I’m back blog­ging at Spi­der­house tonight, which is really nice. I haven’t been here much this sum­mer, and it’s cool. I just saw the best bumper sticker ever. It said “Souls have no Drum Machine.” I Love that. This post is a bunch of ran­dom stuff. The title will not be explained for a bit. So […]

You won’t believe this.…

But some fucker threw a bot­tle at me out of his car today when I was out on a bike ride. I’m rid­ing along on the shoul­der of MOPAC down by Slaugh­ter Lane, and a 3/4 full bot­tle of Gatorade comes fly­ing over my shoul­der, just miss­ing me. A huge truck, with what looked like […]
