Like many of you, there are times when I ask myself “Why do I live here“? Those times come mostly in the winter once that holidays are over and it starts getting really cold and snowy. It’s compounded when the local news is showing ice storms and power outages where I live and my friends [...]
We’re hunkering down here, waiting for a whammy of a snowstorm due to come in this afternoon in the Boston area. I went to work this morning but the office was a bit sluggish (our holiday party was last night) and knowing that a storm ready to dump 8-12″ of snow on us a lot [...]
As I mentioned in Tuesday’s video post, I managed to get away to New Hampshire for a few days last week. My parents have a little summer cottage up there so it makes for a convenient (and cheap) getaway. We took our usual leisurely way up there, riding 1A north the entire way. While my [...]
The 85th annual Laconia Bike Week came one week late this year, but was still chocked with what we’ve come to expect of bike week; bikes, rain, heat, rain and more rain. We could only spare time for day trip this year (my stinky new job is eating into all my fun “me” time) and [...]
We finally got a NICE weekend here in New England for a change (it’s been raining for about the past EIGHT!). Despite the best efforts of the meteorologists to tell me that it was going to rain they were thankfully proven wrong. It was nice to spend some good, quality time with my metal-baby, giving [...]
I’ve somehow remained optimistic through the month of February and managed to keep my mood elevated, but I’m finally fed up with winter. I sit here in bed, having called in sick from work. My doctor diagnosed me with bronchitis this morning (which I’ve had for 2 months now). It’s 14 degrees outside and we’re [...]
This is a bit of a departure from the normal Video Tuesday. Here in New England we are bracing for yet another winter storm and even though my bike is stored safely for the winter I’d still love to get out there and ride. Watching this video not only made me chuckle but it reassured [...]
Well, we got hit with massive amounts of snow last Thursday and again yesterday. Last night the weather dude said we got more snow in the past two storms than we did all last year. Here’s a few pics from around town: arctic Kitten around town
The date of October 15, for most people, isn’t a very special day. But on this day four years ago my life changed forever. I knew when I started this blog that I’d have to tell this story some day. So here it is: My best friend (who is now my husband) almost died in [...]
There are a bunch of rides I do every year, day trips that I look forward to. I’ve talked about some of them in my previous posts and now it’s time to talk about peeping the leafs. Living in Massachusetts, it’s easy for me to hop on my motorcycle and be in New Hampshire, Vermont, [...]
