Jonathan Richman’s always on tour.

I found this video of NYC bike messengers a while back, and the same day I wanted to post it, brl beat me to it! Ever since watching it I’ve wanted to run my hand across some bus as I was passing it. But I resist the temptation.

The ride last weekend went well, if not rather short. There’s pictures up somewhere on the inernet, but seeing as I look kinda bad in them, I’m not gonna post them here. Just know that I was wearing my old-school Mariners long sleeve shirt, pining for the days of 2001, where I was barely into baseball and they kicked ass.

But anyways, the ride: despite overhearing (or being told by someone I passed on a hill), “No way in hell!” it was great. The training made it feel like nothing at all, and the surroundings were very pretty. Beaverton wine country. Spectacular. Also, my mom visited and we had fun eating at Thien Hong in NE Portland, where the calamari is amazing.

So, what’s next?
