So, a few friends were visiting the bakery the other day and I was showing the young daughter around (I was sneaking her some pretzel M&M’s, but that stays between us). On the wall near the ingredients, I have a photo of Yeni holding our bear, me doing something, and Forrest (on my computer monitor–… Continue reading I still love my dog.

Another truck, another 100k miles
I’ve owned a few Ford trucks. For a long time, I was very brand loyal to Ford– but that’s another story. This story is about my ass sitting behind the wheel for 100,000 miles, again. It may be the first time that this truck hit the 100k mark… but it’s not mine. 🙁 The first… Continue reading Another truck, another 100k miles
Thanks neighbor!
Can you guess which WiFi network is mine? I’m no stranger to the fun and joy that comes from dog ownership. Let’s not forget that Forrest was 115lbs and as regular as could be. We tried (well, he couldn’t care actually, more realistically I tried) to be very considerate of private property when making our… Continue reading Thanks neighbor!
Happy Birthday Old Friend
He would have been 15 today… sometimes it’s still hard to believe it’s been almost 3 years. Happy Birthday Forrest. I still love and miss you.
The week that was 1/9/2009

Ok — so for the purposes of “whatever” I’m starting a week I guess on Saturday – Friday (if… Continue reading The week that was 1/9/2009
Forrest's Anniversary
So today (December 20th) marks the 2nd Anniversary of Forrest’s passing. Last year, I rode the Harley out to Cedar Key, Florida and threw a duck into the ocean. Why a duck? Well, when I graduated UF back in 2006 (Go Gators), my parents threw an open house graduation party for me. My mom decorated… Continue reading Forrest's Anniversary
Headin' up to San Francisco
Yesterday, we woke up at 5am and headed through the snow to take me to the airport. Even after spending 5 hours on the tarmac (and being de-iced from a de-icer named Fred), I still have to say I love American Airlines. Don’t get me wrong, I do not like flying. I hate almost everything… Continue reading Headin' up to San Francisco
And we are off!
Well… I couldn’t sleep. So I loaded up the final bags and hit the road. Now I can slow down and wait for the sun to rise. Been a while since I rode with the puppy…
Rest in peace Shadow
A year to the day of Forrest’s death, he is joined by his only friend…. Shadow.
1 year ago today
Today is the the 1 year anniversary of Forrest’s passing… so I took the day off work, headed to Cedar Key on the bike… and then did two things. Spread a little of his ashes on the beach where he liked to play and then threw one of his favorite ducks (above) into the ocean.… Continue reading 1 year ago today
