Go Ahead, Swamp My Contest

There are some very nice comments already for the Obstructionist Art contest, for which I thank all who have submitted something. I wanted to let everybody know that since the contest will remain open until July 1, multiple entries are not only allowed, but encouraged!

If you really want that Canadian Tire money (and who wouldn't?) please feel free to out-do yourself and everybody else with as many comments as you like.

Yer Pal,

Bicycle Restoration

I'm still pretty slammed with work and life right now, but it is Monday and I wanted to post something.

My buddy and I played at a Stag n' Doe on Saturday night, doing our acoustic duo thing. It was a really fun night. I don't know what your experience of such events is like, but in my world these are usually pretty boozie affairs. I didn't go crazy or anything because I was playing, but I drank enough that leaving my car there overnight was the wisest course of action.

I awoke fairly early on Sunday morning, feeling a little bit hung over. It was cool and raining lightly. I got into some cycling clothes and rode out to the Stag n' Doe location to get my car. I have long been a believer in the restorative powers of a bike ride when you're feeling a little worse for wear. This ride was just over seven miles, so no big deal. The rain got heavier. I made no attempt to stay dry, instead allowing the cool rain to wake me up.

If you don't list riding your bike among your favourite hangover cures, I strongly recommend giving it a try, and arrange for some cool rain to fall if you can. Rain makes it even better.

Be Good,
