Friends, the mailbag has been full to overflowing recently with questions regarding the bracelet pictured on my left wrist. It does indeed say "DESPAIR". It's the perfect antidote to the ubiquitous cheery yellow LIVESTRONG band. Don't get me wrong; I don't look askance at the sentiment or anything else that's behind Big Yellow, and Lance Armstrong. I just found the dull-gray band with it's dour message very appealing. It's the perfect accessory for biking through Kenmore Square during a snow storm on a February evening.
Speaking of biking, I didn't ride today. The innertube with the slow leak that I have been nursing along for a month finally wheezed out its last 120psi of breath, never to be filled again. If all goes well this evening, I should be back in the saddle in the morning.

Bracelets that tell people to do stuff? Discussions of the relative buoyancy of beavers? I've missed a few postings here, and look where things have gone! To hell in a handbasket!
I'm envisioning you taking the whole family plus gear to Maine on the Vespa. You must have a sidecar for that thing or something.
