May 2007 Archives

So, part of why I haven't been blogging much lately is that I've been busy as all get out with my new job at Imbibe, a national drinks magazine (coffee, booze, wine, etc.). In many ways, it is sort of a fantasy realized: I get paid to blog and drink booze at work, and I get to eat for free at fancy restaurants that I'm not even writing about. You can check out some of what I've been up to (and learn about assorted upcoming events) on the Imbibe blog. Also, freelancers in the house: Most of the feature stories are farmed out, so check out the articles on the website to get an idea of what kind of stuff the magazine runs, and pitch us some stuff. Also, we run a q-and-a column called Distilled that answers obscure queries about random drink-related stuff, so ask us questions! You can email your questions from the Imbibe blog. So, yeah. Bottoms up!

Whole wheat pancakes + hella much syrup + scrambled eggs + tea = ultimate pre-ride breakfast of power. It gave me so much energy, it was insane.

On Skyline, there was this cyclist guy wearing all-black spandex with long sleeves and tights. Right behind him there was another guy, wearing the same outfit but all white. It was totally Spy versus Spy. I wondered how long the spy in front had been leading the other spy up hills, trying to shake him.

Meanwhile, I watched the banana in Brian's back pocket get blacker with every mile.

Then I came home and ate the best burrito ever.
