Writer’s block I realized last night that one reason I don’t write more here is that I was thinking of it more as a “publication” for some version of the “public” when in reality it’s a letter to about 40 friends, family and acquaintances. So I’ll try and write a bit more often and a bit less polished.
This is what I always tell people about ebikes--it's like riding a bike when you were a kid again. Like, when I was 11 I don't ever remember thinking, "Oh, that's awfully far" or "But there's that hill" or "My chest is going to seize up if I do that" or whatever. I just rode my bike. And now I get to do that again. (With a helmet.)
I forgot to say that one of my favorite parts of The Punk Singer was Kathleen Hannah remembering that she was in a writing workshop run by Kathy Acker who told her "don't be a spoken-word poet, no one listens to them. Start a band."

Glad you're wearing a helmet!!!
