Lets Go Ride a Bike: Summer Games


Let's Go Ride a Bike is a neat blog that highlights how biking can be simple, fun and still stylish. I am not stylish, but I like simple and fun, so I follow them. Check them out: http://letsgorideabike.com/



Right now they are doing a Summer Games Contest, which runs a few months this summer. Participants just have to do some activities during that time for a chance to win all sorts of prizes, including a brand new bike. Check out their Site for information: http://letsgorideabike.com/blog/2010/05/announcing-the-lgrab-summer-games-2/

I'm participating in it and will be including my entries here in the next few weeks.

It feels as though I've found my voice again, but I know I need to refine it's timbre and tone. Of late I've been writing draft after draft after draft of snippets of ideas and thoughts that warrant more exploration. Today, I decideed to challenge myself to go out into the world and just write a few words about what I saw. It's been something I've struggled with all weekend, which I think is part of my own deep uneasiness about society and the state of politics in the world today. Ahem...that can get me down another tangent. Today was the last day before I head back to work tomorrow and I needed to get on my bike and just experiece my city. I didn't want to push myself or get in a workout, I just wanted to see. I pumped up my tires and hit the streets. I meandered past a garage sale where a LuluLarue consultant was making one last push to get rid of product. I saw gardens and cats on porches. I geared down and climbed up hills and ended up at Wapato Park. You co

Solo Performance Workshop

Image
I've had the privilege for the last several weeks to get to participate in a Solo Performance workshop. I knew right away that when I first met Michelle Matlock that I wanted to learn from her.  Michelle runs  Circle Up Productions , an a new venture here in  the South Sound. Circle Up does a little bit of everything in the event world. Basically put, she can make every event incredible. With a background in theater, clowning and circus arts, Michelle has performed all over the world. However, her roots are here in the Northwest, and she has opened up Circle Up to share her knowledge and skills to help Tacoma truly become the city of Destiny. Last week I joined Michelle for a sneak preview of the Venardos Circus and again affirmed that I struggle with juggling. Tonight we had our first exhibit of the projects we have been working on. My performance was a bit off the cuff, but it was just a joy to hear the projects developed by the other participants. I was exciting to perform again

July 30 Debate Reflections

Image
Watched the debates at the Grand Cinema. The early start seemed to lead to a small audience out here on the West Coast. Audience favorites were certainly Bernie and Warren, though several other candidates got a reaction. The following are my thoughts on the candidates so far! Marianne Williamson - Basically the conscious of the debate. She raises good points about the spirit and character of the country. She should really have a TV show. Maybe a church. Other Congressman guy - The guy from Ohio - I forget his name and really he’s just kind of bland just represents Democrats as usual which is not inspiring. Should just drop out or run for Governor or something. I kept giggling when he brought up his production chief. Congressman Delaney - I thought it was interesting what we learned about him tonight. Sounds like he was an entrepreneur who made his money in the status quo system. No wonder he wants to keep it as is. Could run for Governor so something. Klobuchier - however her name
