Seeing that Jimmy Cliff has passed reminds me that Christian from Rhygin once told me that he named his bike company after a character from “The Hard They Come” 📸 me on my 1996 Rhyhin Ra at Pedro’s power circuit race

The other day I realized my 14 year old’s nose was higher than mine. Damn he’s taller than I am.

anyone who knows me knows I keep shit recently decided each week I would throw out, give away or sell 5 items. But today I found SEVEN DVDs of cyclocross from Henry Hurenka I have no clue how many step throughs and steel frames are here, but i bet it’s a lot.

here’s where I’ve been working this week - oklahoma surgical hospital in tulsa built by oral roberts building heights correspond to dimensions of noah’s arc length, width, height

I get why old people get up early shoe pond, beverly beverly harbor with misery island

how will the dems fuck this up?

so does Adelita Grijalva get sworn in then?

urban ruins look great in autumn

remembering how cool I was in college listening to Smithereens while my old friends were listening to Guns and Roses and other drivel. Recalling this while I hear “only a memory” at Stop & Shop

the guy who was the biggest thorn in my side when I was running GP Gloucester was unseated as mayor. There is some good in the world.

no baseball tonight

fuck

can’t remember yelling at my tv as much as I have tonight

The blue jays really want this

game seven 🇨🇦

oh

took my kid to a cool opportunity to get some hitting coaching advice with an MLB scout. He works for the Yankees, and scouted Aaron Judge but I won’t hold that against him.

As much as I want the Canadian team to win and for the Dodgers not to win, I can’t cheer against Ohtani.

The desperate need to accumulate more and more at the cost of everyone else’s wellbeing should be classified as a mental disorder, and I will absolutely die on this hill.

in the late 80s I went to a sci-fi convention in Boston and saw June Lockhart 20 or so yards away chatting away with someone. Then she looked over and winked at me.

I have both 🇺🇸 🇨🇦 passports. But for this series, go Toronto!

Gotta be a crazy game for Geddy Lee and Eddie Vedder rn

beverly ma came out today #nokings

Typical. I’ve seen every game. Every at bat. Today I leave the game early and this happens.

What’s up with that Suárez batting stance? Looks like a random dude put down his beer and grabbed a bat.

introvert here. as two high school classmates have passed in as many days, lesson learned: be less of a shitty friend. stay in touch. send that text. grab that drink/bite when asked. can’t take that time back

mil went shopping

walked my old stomping grounds in salem this morning. My dog found a black cat in a bush - thing started chasing us #posessed

the record store I’ve been going to since I was a kid, sold me this really cool original program from the Smiths tour in Scotland to support Meat is Murder. The Johnny Marr w&a and merch order form are super cool.

Not gonna lie, this popped up on one of my feeds and I got a little misty watching it. youtu.be/gZR1CvSQntE?...

It’s been super cool all season bonding over the Red Sox with my 13yo (who missed opening day because he was in surgery for a baseball-related injury). Already looking forward to next April….

watching the sox rn

local teen drinking spot. Good on the youth of Beverly for being tidy and for recycling!!

I’ve had to be in office all day, all week for workshops (usually work from home). New found respect for pals who do this all the time, have families, and still find a way to ride a bike. Don’t know how you do it.

that 9th inning

Someone tell the Yankees to stop with that Darth Vader shit.

Even the non-spectacular sunrises are pretty cool here: salem/beverly bridge

Got the nerve to get up and ask a question at Berklee’s Conversation with Bill Janovitz and David and Greg from The Cars.

This whole section really.

Jesus, released on this day in 1987: Pixies: Come on Pilgrim Depeche Mode: Music for the Masses The Smiths: Strangeways insane!

this is rad. every year, when I was the race director at a bike race in Gloucester, MA, we would get a large contingent of Canadians from Quebec. Who knew that the last time we ran that event, the 6th place finisher would end up being the first ever Canadian to win cycling’s world championships? 🇨🇦
