11/20 – Intermission
I’m going on vacation with my family, and taking a break from daily drawings. Drawings with resume on Monday, December 8. Happy holidays!...
11/19 – Stormy
Lonely heart today, missing people who are not near. Maybe it’s the rain. Not every day can be exciting, sometimes you just catch up on things…or perhaps things catch up to you....
11/18 – Progress
One of the most satisfying feelings in the world is seeing improvement. This aerials thing has been an uphill challenge, but today we reviewed a move I attempted in maybe my second class ever. I was surprised to realize I found it much more easily this time around, and...
11/17 – Perfect Cap to a Cool Ride
Long ride back to SJ today, via the ever lovely Skyline Boulevard. I wondered whether my scoot would feel lacking, after spending all day holding back the beast of a Triumph. It was certainly not the case. Scoot was comfortable as ever, even the little plastic rattling parts it’s...
11/16 – Bonnie Bonneville and the Dirtbags
Pete offered to let me take his Bonneville today to check out the Dirtbag Challenge. He took my Vespa just in case I didn’t like the Triumph, but no worries there. What a blast! It took a few blocks to reacquaint myself with motorcycle mechanics, but after that I think...
11/15 – Crashing the Party
After some PK gym time, I hightailed to SF to meet Pete for a fundraiser. As of this trip, I’ve become much more well practiced at crashing any given event knowing only one person – surely a master level skill for Class: Introvert. Much fun was had, I even...
11/14 – I can tell we’re going to get along
Toni from San Jose BMW and Vespa invited me to her family’s home for dinner, and I was all too happy to accept. She’s a firecracker, and we could have talked stories and bikes all night! I even got to try on the custom super low Corbin seat on her...
10/13 – Passive Socializing
I’ve come to realize some of my favorite atmospheres are places like cafes and bars, where I can be surrounded by the buzz of people but still do my own thing. It sounds like a contradictory dynamic, but for me it’s a respite from active interaction (I’m an introvert...
11/12 – Mystery and Intrigue
Kevin had tickets to what I can only describe as an immersive game experience, Escape the Auction House. I had no idea what to expect, but I knew it would be good when I walked into a velvet lined ballroom to find 25 red covered tables, on which identical...
11/11 – Little Fixes
One of the first things I installed on the scoot was a hose clamp, to go over the ineffective stock plastic hook to hold the rear rack in the down position. When scoot’s rear end started getting a bit bouncy, I knew it had finally rusted through. Nothing a...
