I have to say that South of the Border, West of the Sun by Haruki Murakami was my least favorite book by him so far. However, I have pretty high standards for him, as I rank several of his other books among my all time favorites. It was a relatively light, quick read, which was… Read More »
It’s amazing how much Calvin and I have in common, although he has a better haircut.

Eat your heart out, Sarah Jessica Parker. Now, these are shoes to die for. My new Sidi Genius 4 Lorica cycling shoes are the closest thing I can imagine to a glove for your feet. Well, a glove with a really hard bottom surface, but the fit around the top and sides of my feet… Read More »
