2/15 – Leaning Into It
Had a farewell lunch with Toni and her friends, Shelly and Milo, at Alice’s. Pete boldly acquiesced to being my first passenger on the freeway and on some twisties! I noticed him leaning into curves with me, so I kept taking them a bit harder each time…until I heard...
2/14 – Objects in Motion
I played Pete’s arms and legs for a scooter lesson in the Presidio this morning. Gina was zipping around within the hour....
2/13 – The Heart of Endymion
The upside, I suppose, is that Pete and I were back in the shop’s 1971 Fiat to run police report errands and get a look at the bike where it was towed....
2/12 – Time is Stopped
Last night as I returned from Oakland, I got a call from San Francisco General Hospital. I had to listen to the voicemail twice. Pete was in a motor accident. “He said something about the dogs,” was all I could get from the social worker, before I punched in...

2/10 – Furiously Coloring
Coloring some comics, dreaming of tacos south of the border....

2/8 – Logo Makings…
Top secret scooter-related work today with Pete. Flexing those old Adobe Illustrator muscles....
2/7 – Picking Up Old Habits
I picked up a knitting habit in New England, to pass cold months trapped indoors. There’s limited room onboard for hobbies, but I finally caved and picked up a skein of cotton yarn and some shorty double-pointed needles. It’s small, and has been a comforting respite from work to...
2/6 – “Studio” Vespa SF
The corner under the stairs at Vespa SF has become an unofficial studio the past couple days, while I’m finishing up a bit of paid work before takeoff. I’m doing a quick page for Chris Duffy again, you might expect it to be SpongeBob shaped!...
