Six O’Clock Vintage

Seek those images that constitute the wild, the lion and the virgin, the harlot and the child. Find in middle air an eagle on the wing, recognize the five that make the Muses sing. | W.B Yeats, Those Images

Seasons

These are the summer days, Clouds running with my mind (both sailing on the wind): I’m reclining ‘gainst a tree Dreaming up one-act plays These are the fall days, Watching the leaves fall Bearing my aspirations— The colors come and fade To a crunchy pervasive brown glaze These are the winter days, Huddled by the fire with my muse, It’s cold here; If ...

Vertigo and Perambulators

I've had three words on my mind all day. The recall of obscure vocabulary words is a coping mechanism that helps me through long hours at work. I even quiz some of my coworkers on their lingual talents. Here are the three words: ersatz, somnambulism, and perambulator. ...

White Stripes

I've been moonlighting this week covering an out of town friend's paper route.If they have jobs in hell, this may be one of the ones available. Here's a glimpse into what my night schedule has been for the last few days: 1. Go to bed as early as possible (though ...

Of Rings

It's wedding season. Depending on your season in life, chances are you have probably been to multiple weddings this summer--I certainly have. It seems as if all my friends (and yes, I'm included of course) have decided to bind themselves eternally to one person.By this time I've had my fill ...

Boxes

I moved today. I realized that the bulk of my possessions are books :)Terribly sorry I'm obliviating rather than rebounding, but I believe I've got a bit of spring to my bones yet; my new study is coming together--it's nice and cozy and tome-lined.I can really relate to how ...

Politic

Was rummaging through countless papers today trying to order my things for this weekend's move. Here are several hastily scrawled passages I found that must have made my eyes twinkle the first time around (eyes = twinkling again:):My fellow Americans. I am pleased to tell you I just signed legislation ...

Mollusks

I've got a new cut on my hand. Actually it's the only one.I suppose that sort of thing can happen sometimes. I couldn't see what I was doing and was using my hands to scrape around for some sort of hold. I finally found the edge, rocked my hands ...

Newsies

I rarely use this site to promote other websites or services. In fact, this may actually be a first. Perhaps the number one question you should be asking yourself right now is whether someone actually hacked into Infinite Regression to shamelessly promote their own product. A distinct possibility I suppose. ...

“You’re a Phony, a Big Fat Phony! Hey Everybody, He’s a Phony!”

I know that China is the home of iPhone rip-offs and lead-filled Colgate, but it appears that their duplicity and fakery  don't end with electronics and domestic household products. China admitted faking the opening fireworks of the Olympic Opening Ceremony as well as faking the voice of the cute little singer ...

Mountain Lion Drags Dog out of Owner’s Bedroom

Crazy story, this is a small front range town just southwest of the Denver area.  I go mountain biking in this area all the time. A mountain lion slunk into the master bedroom of an Idledale home early Monday, snatched a yellow Labrador retriever and vanished. Officers are hunting the mountain lion ...

iPhone Apps

I spent the weekend at a cabin in the mountains and so didn't get a chance to download the the latest iPhone software update until late Sunday evening.  After a frustrating flurrey of "restore, verify, restore" proceedings I finally was forced to delete by back up and do a full ...

The Fattest States in America

Another reason to move to Colorado, the home of lean, well-muscled and tan super people :)

Flat Tires

I keep getting flat tires during my rides. In less than a month I've gotten two flats in remote sections of each ride's respective trail.  The first flat was on Three Sisters trail in Evergreen.  I somehow managed to rip a huge gash in my tube and found myself pedaling on ...
