THE fast green bike

The fast green bike has emerged from her summer slumber. She needed a little coaxing in the form of a little air in the old tires to ready her for the road. It was about a week ago that I dusted her off. I'm not so sure it was a happy occation for the old girl. She coughed and protested everytime I tried to switch her gears, making my legs jerk in an attempt to buck me off. When the old girl realized this was a failed effort she belched her chain off its tracks leaving me greasey and struggling to put it back on. Well, I got it. But in a way the fast green bike got me again. I was too scared to try to shift gears again for fear of her belching the chain off again so I was forced to pedal as fast as I could the rest of the way home because it was in the lowest gear possible. It's now about a week later and I am considering another ride. Never fear, their shall be many more tales from the bike to be told! Let's hope there's no blood shed this year...

Doe Ray Me Fa So La T DDDDOOOOEEEE!

I love to sing. Really, I do it to benefit the fortunate people who happen to be around when a tune takes over my head. I am well aware of my amazing voice and I feel it is my duty to share it. I would describe it as the voice of an angel. Now I realize that I may sound as if I have quite a high head on these shoulders but I assure you there are no other words to describe my voice. I have to admit I feel my voice is slightly underappreciated by those I try to share my talents with. I have even been sternly told to SHUT UP! a time or two. But I will continue to share the beauty, I refuse to be discouraged by those who clearly need their ears tuned.
