Chess in the Snow. My experience with the timpani and an early sense of failure. December 7, 2013. Middot; Leave a comment. I watched Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey the other night. Apart from the feeling like my head had just exploded, the use of Strauss’ Also Sprach Zarathustra struck a chord with me as well (yes, that was intended). It reminded me of the one time in my life when I played the timpani, in […]. Continue reading →. From the Albania journals. September 9, 2013. Middot; 1 Comment.

Chess in the Snow. The Good Tired Feeling. September 14, 2014. Middot; Leave a comment. So while I was in Oregon I had a great time doing all sorts of things to give myself the good tired feeling, but I also realized that I need to cultivate a lifestyle around the good tired feeling. But for now it’s back to the chaos that is Istanbul. Gezi Park, one year on. Southeastern Turkey and Hurting Ilyas’s Feelings. You must log in. To post a comment.

Chess in the Snow. June 20, 2013. Middot; Leave a comment. Due to how scattered my brain and thoughts are about the current protests in Istanbul, it’s really hard for me to put them down coherently in some manner of eloquent prose. The best I can manage is to try to capture how chaotic it feels being here at the moment. With pro-government thugs wandering the streets. Attacking people with the police, threats of the army becoming involved. Since Saturday, the raids on people’s homes in the mornings...

Chess in the Snow. Pogradec – Ohrid – Skopje – Istanbul. November 3, 2012. Middot; Leave a comment. I didn’t get a photo like this coming in so I got one on my way out! After about an hour of hiking down the road in the hot sun I began to question the wisdom behind my decision. I hadn’t seen any signs for Ohrid and on my previous visits had noted that it was actually a sizeable lake. This could be a long walk. If only one of the cars would stop and pick me up! I asked if there was one from Skopje. At one...

This post is a joint effort by my older brother Graham and I as a compilation of the various bikes we have owned/and or ridden over the course of our years spent in the cycling industry. We have both spent a lot of time with bicycles, between many years riding/racing as well as working in […]. Continue reading →. Southeastern Turkey and Hurting Ilyas’s Feelings.

Chess in the Snow. Southeastern Turkey and Hurting Ilyas’s Feelings. December 11, 2014. Middot; Leave a comment. A few years ago I took a short, one week trip to a few cities in the southeast of Turkey on a road trip, intending to go from Istanbul to Mardin, Hasankeyf, Diyarbakir, Sanliurfa, and Gaziantep. I got my ticket for the bus, which would depart the next day around 4:00 pm to Mardin. Mardin […]. Continue reading →. The Good Tired Feeling. September 14, 2014. Middot; Leave a comment.

Chess in the Snow. Every day I’m chapuling. June 15, 2013. Middot; Leave a comment. Concerning the ongoing protests in Istanbul…. I’ve been meaning to write up blog entries… but my life has been so abnormal for the past two weeks I can hardly seem to put a coherent thought together! 8221; (mothers are here! A piano concert, people dancing… While bewildered riot police thugs surround the square leaning on their shields awaiting orders. Then my students who support the government laughing because they saw ...

Over the past couple of years my brother Graham and I often discuss the good tired feeling in our email correspondences. Both of us had a similar realization after we stopped cycling, that we would have a hard time going to sleep because we were never tired anymore. For the better part of a decade […].

Chess in the Snow. From the Albania journals. September 9, 2013. Middot; 1 Comment. September 14, 2012. On Furgon reflecting on all of the ways I could die that day. No guard rail on winding mountain roads. Driver might be drunk. Brakes could fail. Could run into furgon in front of us and tumble down the mountain. Could hit rock in the road and puncture gas tank and explode. Koman ferry could sink. All the food – leftover potatoes, eggs, bread, tomatoes, peppers… little electricity and no fri...Stressful...
