Went out for a very rare afternoon bike ride. First ride of the year in shorts. Beautiful outside.

The New Yorker magazine March 9, 1929 🎨Theodore G Haupt

Got a late start due to the time change. Still so goddamned cold outside

Watching Ikiru rather than working on my magazine article. I had forgotten just how good this movie is.

'The highest pitch of refined emotion': The tragic romance hidden in a 19th-Century painting. "Hellelil and Hildebrand, The Meeting on the Turret Stairs" More photos and information about this fascinating #painting: www.bbc.com/culture/arti...

One of my favourite REM songs youtu.be/KVT0S0j7F9Y

Good ride. Had circle home after 15 km to shed some shirts, change my gloves. Got back on my way. In a neighbourhood I often pass through I only noticed a series of figures and photographed them

Incredible. 13 degrees outside but very very foggy. Might be cycling in shorts this morning.

Good ride this morning until I got a flat tire at the 31.5 km mark. I walked 5 km home. It's all exercise.

Poetry is a bird perched lightly on the back of all that is fickle and dangerous in this world...

Rain all day. Yoga this morning

Nearly impossible to get intelligible photos in the fog.

Very foggy ride this morning. Detroit was completely invisible.

Last two mornings I have stayed indoors and practiced yoga. Foggy this morning but I will head out to see what's going on.

As a writer of parodies, I can really appreciate what these two British jokers did on Wikipedia www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9Z0...

I not only follow @phillipcrymble.bsky.social on Bluesky, I have his account bookmarked in my browser for easy access. The portal to poetry he provides is unlike anything I've ever encountered. An oasis in the desert. You should follow him too.

Watching a very poignant documentary about the epidemic of loneliness in Japan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=wpf9...

I'm interviewing graphic novelist #JeffLemire tomorrow for a magazine article. I've talked to him before and he's a great guy. We'll be talking about his new memoir #10,000InkStains. jefflemire.substack.com/p/10-000-ink...

"For if you put me to death, you will not easily find another, who, to use a rather absurd figure, attaches himself to the city as a gadfly to a horse, which, though large and well bred, is sluggish on account of his size and needs to be aroused by stinging." Socrates, as quoted by Plato in Apology

An article I wrote under a pseudonym for The Drive Magazine a few years ago about my book, The Kilominator. thedrivemagazine.com/posts/the-ki...

Still have the cassette tape from 37 years ago.

I was in my last year of high school when Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop was released. Awesome album. I saw him live the next near at Cobo Arena in Detroit when he performed with Stevie Ray Vaughn. youtu.be/BYV3rHNjwwE

Can't believe how good this version is youtu.be/M8X8CQA6rbg

My love for R.E.M. remains undiminished all these years. I saw them live during the Green tour at Cobo Arena in Detroit, 1989. Amazing show. This is a few years later. youtu.be/9LQkVbcSzEM

Out of Favour 2009 🎨Sara Tyson

Very cold this morning. Had to turn back early. When I got home my jacket and shirt and base layer were frozen together.

The weather did not cooperate but I cycled outside as many times as I could. Flurry right now outside trying to ward me off for tomorrow. We'll see what happens.

When I discovered this on It's Too Late to Stop Now live album, there was little else I listened to for quite a while. Just love this version of the song. Van Morrison firing on all cylinders. youtu.be/sZYGpiGD038?...

I finally figured something out kilominator.wordpress.com/2026/02/26/c...

Good ride to bring a terrible month to a close.

On the bike this morning

Mark Strand's "Hour" as it first appeared in The New Yorker.

Just came to a realization after eight months of strain and stress and discomfort: I work a job I really enjoy in a company I have come to despise. What a strange situation.

When it comes to travelling for vacation, there is much to see in a vast country like Canada. It’s a great way to know our country better.

Cold morning, but a good ride

We may have won silver but our players have a heart of gold 💛 unlike the disgusting US team and their behaviour in that locker room. The misogyny towards the female hockey team. Disgusting 🤮 but unfortunately this Canadian is not surprised in the least.

This kid knows

Team Canada wins Silver in Olympics hockey vs USA. Stand proudly! You & the Women's team gave them pure Canuk Hell!

Ugh, just as I remember Ubuntu -- Mint is clunky (Software Manager is useless, installed Brave via command line) and difficult and requires a password every time I try to do something. And people wonder why many users won't bother with Linux. It's 2026. Time for this shit to work!

Going back into the breach -- installing Linux Mint on a spare laptop. It's been about 15 years since my last Linux experience.

Congrats to our Boys 🇨🇦🇨🇦

Let's do this! #teamcanada #goldmedalgame

WIN IT FOR SID!!! LETS GO TEAM CANADA 🇨🇦
