In My Studio...Here In California

Three days a week, six hours a day, I hangout in my Bodfish Bicycle Studio. Yes, I get visitors. Many only have a need for conversation, directions and (less often) advise. There are those who have material needs...I sell a few items each week and I am honored to fondle their steeds. I love installing fresh equipment and watching it perform flawlessly. I am so happy to send people out of here on leg-powered adventures....real or imagined. I believe they are on their way to new self-discovery. Wind in the hair, even through the helmet I sold them. Super-charged blood circulation and a winding down of tension and inflammations. This is how I make the world a better place...spreading the joys of self-propulsion and freedom, if only for a few hours. The best of these friends and customers return on a regular basis to share stories of successful explorations and revelations. I look forward to each new day at the Bodfish Bicycle Studio because each day holds one of these nuggets of happiness and positive feedback.

First Baseball Broadcast of 2025

Yes, it's a distraction I look forward to every year...SF Giants on KNBR. They've been a .500 club these last couple of years including only a handful of outstanding performances while being bullied by the Dodgers and Padres in their league. There's always the underlying hope that they'll break-out with a secret weapon that will launch them back into the playoffs and World Series. We know how well the SF Giants can excell in the World Series..2010, 2012 and 2014 and not that far out of our rear view mirror. What's ten years? Actually, the entire roster has changed, with the exception of Buster Posey...President of Baseball Operations. Buster knows!

So Much For New Years' Resolutions

I tried to put politics on the back burner, I really did but....This dude is 'out there', so far beyond right field...all the way over the Lefty O'Doul Bridge. Brings back the old Barry McGuire song, 'Eve Of Destruction'. Extreme-ism is seldom rewarded in America and I do not believe this attempt to destroy the humanitarian vein that we have nurtured and exercised in our fair country these last sixty years is going to be wiped away easily. We have learned to care about all of our friends and neighbors, no matter their handicap, no matter their color, no matter their country of origin. We all want the same perks of life in America. White Supremeism bares it's ugly head every few decades and then scurries under the sink and floorboards like a wave of cockroaches. What will it take to change America's negative spiral into the mindless depths of ninety years ago. The parallels are so obvious. Wake-up America, Wake-up Germany...we are better than that. Do it for the children.
