Nine

Nine years ago today we tied the knot. Who knew where we’d be going? Who knew we’d rescue these two? Who knew I’d have to buy new shoes every few months? Who knew we’d be living in here in Switzerland? None of this was planned. The best things in life never are. Happy Anniversary Mr. [...]

 
Jodhpurs is in Da Hooouuuse!

Sometimes the Internet is a Wonderfully Benevolent Place

I’ve been reading Fat Cyclist’s blog for about a little over a year now. He’s just a guy, an average “Joe,” who loves to ride and race bikes. When he’s not riding them, he loves talking or writing about them. He’s a fantastically humorous writer who now contributes to Bike Radar. I’ve enjoyed a chuckle [...]

Her daughter, Carisse, had been born with some health difficulties; mainly in digestion which later led her to have some developmental delays in [...]
