Hey, I’m still a blur from two days of driving to return home, help a brother move, clean the shop, do laundry. Hell, leaving always puts me behind the curve, so it’s a scramble. But during the process, I’m thinking about all the parties, the Badlands rides, the entire event was non-stop. For the first

Hey, I went to a Barbecue with my Long Beach girl last night. She asked a myriad of questions about my sordid past and then Sturgis surface and she started asking questions about the run to the Badlands, like, “Are you ready?” I thought about one of the first rules in Buddhism about change. Everything

Hey, This is a strange mix of news items. Fortunately there’s a handful of fun items. Sometimes the politics seems too overwhelming. Here’s something I asked myself the other day. When you’re pissed off about anything, or if you’re faced with unwanted decisions, form it or them as a challenge (meaning: dare, confront, or dispute).

Okay, we couldn’t resist. I heard a rumor about Carissa the wild blonde who likes to be spanked and tied up. So of course blonde jokes surfaced during a Bikernet Editorial meeting. Snake shared a story about a blonde, from his past, but we decided to pass and his blues and the blonde story and

Hey, It’s the Happy Father’s Day Sunday Post, amazing. And we survived a Friday the 13th and a full moon. I spent 2.5 days sequestered in a hotel room working on a final edit of my second Chance book, and perhaps my last fiction book endeavor. I spent almost 16 hours one day just reading

Hey, I’m confused today, but that’s nothing new recently.
