summer lovin'

They say summers aren’t complete without a kind of [briefly ridiculous] love. Preferably one with a partner that would otherwise be unattainable/unrealistic/undateable. Because for three hot months, you can just ignore the glaring signs that things will fizzle out come September. It’s summer. Time to make some embarrassing forgettable choices! To be honest, this whole [...]

I’m boarding another bus this afternoon to head back home to Boston. Goodbye NYC, goodbye swelteringly hot printing studio in Billyburg, goodbye comfy black couch in NYC Velo.

rolling resistance
August 20th, 2008 · 1 Comment · general stuff
I’m resisting the end of summer. The lazy days, the nights spent out on random rides, the dripping sweat. My list of things to do and places to go isn’t even half done yet. But there will be another long, hot, gorge-yourself-on-all-the-watermelon-you-can-eat Boston summer, and I’ll be pushing out hats through the fall. Hopefully there [...]
