Thanks to the generous support of MANY family and friends, I raised the minimum amount of money for the Tahoe Ride! Now it is onward to my goal of $3,000!!! If you haven't donated, it is definitely NOT too late. I am raising money through the middle of May!

I am currently in Phoenix and I should be in town for the next couple of days/weeks. Does anyone know of anything fun to do in Phoenix? My guidebook described it as "Las Vegas without the casinos or Los Angeles without the beaches!" In otherwords, there doesn't seem to be a whole lot to do on the evenings! Any advice would be most welcome

HUGE HUGE news on the fundraising scene! Yesterday I recieved a massive check that brings me only $126 away from the minimum to enter the Tahoe race! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE WHO HAS CONTRIBUTED ON MY BEHALF!

If you are in Oakland in the next few weeks, be sure to check out Adrienne Miller's show at 21 Grand.. She is currently showing some great photos from a recent trip she took on the Trans-Siberian Railway... (BTW, Adrienne is a good friend of mine from college. When not doing artsy work, she is actually an water-resourse engineer specializing in Native American issues.)

My uncle, Wally, just got information on my grandfather's Trail Gote motorcycles published on a website dedicated to trail gotes!
