Today, the Intarweb trembles

Yes indeed it is a fine day to inflict yet more indignities on the Intarweb. Today I visited the campus of the University of San Francisco to get more info on my imminent matriculation and was reminded of how pleasant and relaxing it is to walk around this city on a brisk winter day. While wandering aimfully through the Panhandle it occurred to me that my erstwhile fiancee had suggested I write a blog. You see, I had been meaning to do it but had just been so darned busy for the last two years. You know how it is. I must say that my IBM T41 laptop is handling the job admirably, especially for an electronic device doused with water followed a few days later by sake. My fellow students, I swear that it is my Laptop that Reeks of the Japanese Booze, and not me.
For the time being walking will be my primary means of transport since my beloved 1996 BMW R1100R motorcycle had the temerity to go and strip its transmission shaft splines and render itself inoperable, and my bicycle is in enough of a state of disrepair that I no longer feel confident in its stopping ability. Now I must ponder some of the Big Questions: do I buy a new bicycle or old motorcycle? How about a fancy new camera that can use those Nikon lenses I've had forever, and then just walk everywhere taking artful and provocative photographs? Maybe some of those super-springy shoes, or rollerblades? Right now I'm leaning toward new bicycle. Then I could ride my new bicycle around and feel cool.
