Just found out that Ezra of Fast Boy Cycles has cancer... good vibes being sent.

Crazy photo, and how I found out:

He's an amazing photographer and crafter of bikes/fenders/bars/etc. His wood stuff is amazing:

^^^ That sucks ass - I've lost a grandfather to cancer and will likely lose an aunt to it as well. He's young, which I guess is something in his favor.

Shapelike, I'd totally snap up your tosca, but I don't think you want to wait until September for funds.

Also, got a CXP 33 rim, some DT champions, and a spoke wrench to build my front wheel tonight. Am I gonna die? We'll see...

Guh, I had one of those ****ers. It ran from an artery near my elbow (close to where people normally have blood drawn from) up my whole arm and across my torso and into my heart. After a few months it got infected and they had to take it out in the E.R. ... which basically feels like they're pulling (and pulling, and pulling) a tape worm out of you. Not fun.

Meh, who knows? Keep in touch. I didn't have a fun time w/ my last Cragislist experience so if someone from the forums ends up wanted it that makes my life a lot easier.

Another good ride in the Don tonight, despite the fact that it's an absolute soup bowl around the water treatment plant. I made it up that steep/technical (for me, at least) climb under the big bridge suprisingly confidently. Chalk that one up to "you never know until you try - again." Wes rode some weird metal trough thingie as well as a man-sized step-up and didn't eat **** at all. *APPLAUSE*

Yay! Congrats!

... that reminds me, I *still* have to pick up my M.A. diploma from the office. It's been there since November. I bet they've shredded it by now.

Just rode back from the island. Great night for some frisbee in the park.

I am! My parents are so excited I'm going to be a fake doctor!

By the by, does anyone want to make 80 bucks participating in a completely non-invasive EEG psych experiment? Lemme know.
