Mt Holyoke
I rode Mrs March505’s Super73 ebike to the summit of Mt Holyoke today. It was great. I felt like I was cheating when I passed a pair of ‘real’ cyclists on the way up. They were friendly and cheerful though. Oh, and I desperately need a shave. Sorry. Vacation mode.

Umbrella
I used to have a green duck umbrella. It was cute and fun and I have no idea where I got it. Many years ago I left it on a carousel in Old Orchard Beach, and I was disappointed. I found a yellow one somewhere. It died an early death at the hands of a […]

Liberty Tree
I am a child of the 80’s. Like so many of us, I came of age at the local mall. Liberty Tree Mall was the coolest of the cool. It was anchored at one end by a local discount retailer called Ann & Hope, and at the other by local electronics legend Lechemere. It had […]

Panniers
I have a fascination with odd bags from the army/navy store. I’ve cycled a number of them through my closet over the years. Some last longer than others. This one is supposedly a “Hungarian Medic Bag.” It’s weatherized and makes a good pannier for my commuter, and it cost a whopping $12.99. Predicted temperature for […]

Village
When I was young my grandparents had a Christmas village. It sat on top of the old console TV and lit up. I just loved those tiny plastic houses. Someone bought me my own set. They are fragile bits of plastic which hung on a string of 10 Christmas lights. Gramp knew he could do […]

Spice Girls
I just realized that I’ve missed something big here at NfMH. Back before Halloween we adopted a pair of cats. Ginger is an 11 year old, well, ginger cat. I found her on Twitter by accident. She was in a shelter on Long Island, and her picture called to me. She has Hal’s colors and […]
