  • The Coffee House Experience (BBBC 2017.17)

    I started drinking coffee kind of late in the game–around my thirties. I’m not a heavy drinker. In fact, it is the coffee house that I really like. (The coffee is just a nice byproduct of the experience.) Did it really all start in Seattle? All I know is I…

  • Vegetable? (BBBC 2017.7)

    Did you know that tomatoes are not vegetables? Seriously. What’s that all about? (Sez the guy who can’t cook his way out of a produce bag.) And avocados, too! I judge which of the two main produce types on whether they are sweet or not their botanical makeup. “Hey buddies over…

  • Annual Mileage Goal (BBBC 2017.4)

    I don’t have one. I don’t ride for long distances. No overnighters. No long day trips. The longest one I took was a run to Rio Vista with the Royal Bastards Scooter Club in May of 2012. I’ve said enough about the run, but I’ll say more about the beautiful…

  • The Benies of Bad Skin (BBBC 2017.10)

    Roxie Deli’s House I have a skin condition and Ostosteoporosis. Lovely, right? Nothing like starting on a cheery note! As bad has having Osteoporosis is it lead me to a physical therapist who turned me on to yoga. The only good thing about visits to a dermatologist is that my…

  • What Am I Thankful for Today (BBBC 2017.16)

    Before my father died two years ago he asked me if I was happy in my career. I was honest, which may have not been the right answer for the time. If he would have asked my brother that question I am sure my brother would have given him a…

  • Random Act of Kindness (BBBC 2017.15)

    Okay, I’m trying to catch up here and I’ve been stuck in a cubicle farm all day. I’ll switch this out if I commit or I witness a random act of kindness. I could write about Daryl, a homeless man that I help out, but that’s not random and some…

  • Why I Don’t Do That Selfie Shit (BBBC (2017.8)

    I am the least photogenic person I know. I have always had a fat face even in my high school and college days when I thinned out. My eyes seem to get lost in my big cheeks. I also have a lazy left eye. These things made me not very…

  • Boston/Plymouth/Nantucket (BBBC 2017.2)

    Mass. State House Excluding states I have flown over or states I have visited due to short layovers where I never leave the airport the only states I have visited are California (home), Oregon (I’ve traveled through it a couple of times and visited Crater Lake), Washington (Seattle is my…

  • What Does Valentine’s Day Mean to Me? (BBBC 2017.14)

    First off, I need to be reminded of it. (Thanks Google and Facebook!) It’s not on my internal calendar. Though my wife and I rarely fuss about Christmas or birthday gifts she will feel a little slighted if I don’t bring something home from work today. I’ll walk to the…

  • Easy on i is Making It Hard to Turn Over a New Leaf

    While resurrecting this blog I found the only post that I had not published. I’ve checked this out online and it is still relevant. So, here goes.  So I’m eating a lot fewer burgers and only using my scooter for getting around–no fun runs in the last two years. I’m…
