Hi there, welcome to the BLOG of my life as a Vagabiker. Beryl calls me a 'Free Spirit' my Grandpa a B.U.M. of no fixed address. Kelly says I'm 'off the wall'. I think that the Toad is closest saying I'm the Cat in the Hat it's fun to have fun—but you have to know how.

These are the stories of my unique, home-and-job-free Natness.

Naturally, quasi-legal events are fictional. Everything else is the unvarnished truth.

a day in the Anchorgian Life

Friday, February 2nd, 2007

They didn’t have black nail polish in stock, so sharpie had to do the trick. (more…)

Bowling for Cars, with, well, other cars

Sunday, January 21st, 2007

By this time everything is going pretty well with my 4-legged friends. They are used to me, and I also know which ones I need to keep a closer eye on, which ones will try to fight who. etc etc. So things are getting pretty routine. You could even say that I’m in a rut.

In the evenings Kev and I are doing various home renovation projects, so I’m doing hardware store runs, drinking Corona, watching Holmes on homes fully domesticated, blah, blah, stick me in a wooden box.

Then a week ago today I had my first ever car-car accident. (more…)

-Also the Arch Biker put a gruppo in the dishwasher; the finish on his cranks needed to be restored with silver polish, and the anodizing came off his seat post. (more…)
