Wednesday, January 13th, 2010Happy Belated New Year from the Cuparium
Monday, January 4th, 2010Due to technical difficulties (seriously), the article I intended to write last month in the previous year is being written and posted this month of the current year.
For the second year in a row, I forgot to post the annual link to the words to Auld Lang Syne, the international theme song of the New Year by Robert Burns, the Scottish Bard. This is a tradition of the Cuparium since 1999, which was also the year of the Cuparium’s birth. Ten years already. Good grief.
I also forgot to mention something I usually reserve for September or October, which is my annual self-back-patting for having successfully survived another year without smoking a single cigarette. That makes it a little over seven years since I quit. And although I haven’t quit pipes or cigars, I have coincidentally abstained from smoking either for the last 14 months.
Despite the late posting, I am hopeful that 2010 will be a more productive year both in and out of the Web logs.
Have a great year!
No NaNoWriMo for Me
Wednesday, November 11th, 2009I received no e-mail reminders for the beginning of this year’s National Novel Writing Month, so I must have fallen off NaNoWriMo’s radar, or they’ve decided not to send reminders. I didn’t remember until about the 3rd. So be it. I have other fish to fry this month.

Pashley Bicycles I Need
Thursday, September 10th, 2009Here is the bike I want: the Roadster Sovereign Roadster 26 Sovereign by Pashley Cycles.
I am also partial to the Waikiki Sunrise.
And if I could own three Pashleys, I’d get the Guv’nor for recreational bicycling on sunny days.
Shopping List for My Bicycle
Monday, August 31st, 2009I plan to start buying one piece of equipment for my bicycle per week for the next few weeks. Early on I purchased a new air pump and a basket with a lid for the rear rack. Today, I bought a stainless steel water bottle (for only $4). On Friday I’ll order a mirror (made in Germany and nicer than any other I’ve seen in stores). After that, I need to get lights, a repair kit, an emergency air pump, and a bottle carrier that doesn’t require a frame with holes in it. A hub generator would be nice to have, too.
Bicycle Wine
Wednesday, July 29th, 2009This is the label of the bottle of wine I bought two nights ago:
I’ll be keeping the bottle (and the wine was good, too).
Back on the Bicycle Seat
Monday, July 13th, 2009Here are two pictures of my new (old) bicycle, which became mine on Friday the 10th. It is a Schwinn World Tourist of undetermined age (so far), but I know it was made in Taiwan with certain parts made in Japan.
