Kudos to Cary Drivers Tonight

Tuesday, August 14th, 2007

Wow.  What an unbelievable bike ride tonight.  There must have been some good karma flowing tonight, because there must have been 5 or 6 separate incidents where cars patiently waited behind me in tricky spots on the road, waited till I passed before pulling out or gave me extra wide berth when passing.  It was [...]

Best Pizza Ever

Friday, February 9th, 2007

Mmmm, Pizza. OK, so anyone that knows me, knows that I have always sworn up and down that Antonio’s Pizza in Amherst, MA was the best pizza ever made. And that isn’t just me talking “glory days” either, reminiscing about college. My wife never believed me until she ate there and became [...]
