Thanks for fixing that papaver!

I started a blog for my studio - wildhawk studio - yesterday. I do not have a website yet, so it is a great way to display my current works in progress, photos, cycling stories, etc.

Sorry to hear about your job loss - but as others have stated it is your positive attitude that will get you through this. I have many friends in the same boat, but they have changed careers and...

My DH has been after me for some time to do a portrait of him. I told him I was only comfortable drawing and painting wildlife, but finally relented when he put on his best “cowboy gear”. I had a lot...

I have spent most of my life obsessing about my weight/diet. When I started biking, I started thinking about food as fuel. And then with the wakeup call regarding my heart/cholesterol and having two...

We have a unicyclist that regularly rides in our local park. He not only rides the unicycle perfectly, but plays classical guitar while he is riding. He also juggles sometimes. I used to take a slow...

Both DH and I are giro heads!! And “Freds”. My DH mounted a small led maglite to the top of our helmets for spotting low hanging tree branches and the darn things really work!! He attached them...

I wrote a poem for a friend this morning and wanted to share it with you too. It’s called “Dance Among the Clouds”. Enjoy!

I’d rather be among the clouds
dancing across the sky
Than sitting in a...

Thanks for your kind words everyone - it is great to be back on TE. And I am looking forward to ramping up my riding times this coming week too. The park trail I ride on closes at dark, but I get...

Wow - where do I start? Probably everything on my Ipod! But to name few:
Blues Brothers Soundtrack (the movie)
Louis Armstrong “What A Wonderful World”
John Denver - most everything he did I...

I haven’t been on the cycling forums for awhile, so it is time to catch up with everyone. And yes, I am still pedaling whenever I can too. My company moved all the second shift employees onto...

Best of shows to you Mimi! Your paintings are absolutely gorgeous!! I have finally put my studio together enough to begin some paintings. My hours on my regular job went from nightshift to dayshift...

Thanks everyone! I will give the melatonin a try too. Yesterday (my first day) it rained all day which did not help. I was so tired when I got home that I fell asleep on the couch and did not wake up...

Hey everyone - I haven’t been posting much so here’s an update on me. I mentioned a few weeks ago how my company had a layoff and 79 of my coworkers were let go. One of my good friends is still...

I feel that technology is a vital part of a child’s learning experience in this day and time, but that a balance has to be struck between video and hands on learning and physical activity. I am...

Our Florida weather was beautiful for New Year’s Day, so DH and I loaded up our bikes with a picnic lunch and pedaled off to our local park for lunch and riding. Unfortunately, I have been getting in...

I can’t speak from experience regarding keeping bikes on balconies, but I do know that we had extra bikes stored in our outdoor storage shed and they began to rust eventhough they were inside the...

Thanks everyone! DH and I have decided to make that one of our annual Christmas traditions, weather permitting. We went out for another ride tonight and got lots of waves and thumbs up from traffic...

Congratulations!!! And what an awesome painting!!! You are an inspiration to me!!

DH and I got our bikes decorated just in time for a wonderful Christmas Eve ride through several neighborhoods - we enjoyed the night ride and looking at Christmas lights and wishing numerous...

Thank you Emily. Since the layoff last week, work has been miserable. Those of us who are left are feeling the pressure, not only of covering the others’ jobs, but also fearing that we may be in the...

I have been fortunate enough to live in both types of mountains. I grew up in the Blue Ridge mountains of Virginia, but also lived in Wyoming for a while with a 360 degree view of the Teton Mountains...

Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers. DH and I are taking it one day at a time, but focusing on backup plans in case the worse happens. I have spoken with a couple of my friends that...

I have worked at my company for over 18 years and it was generally considered a ”recession-proof” business. But I got a phone call from one of my dear friends and co-workers on Tuesday before work to...

At our workplace, our company nurse implements Wellness Wednesdays with various doctors in the area. It was once a week, but now it is about once a month (budget cuts). She brings in chiropractors,...
