Once again, Ms. Ellie McKay makes my day for strange yet journal-worthy portraits:
That's from the Meet and Greet we had last night for Love's Tangled Web, the next show I'm working on (this time as light designer). She seemed very happy with the Party Mints.

I realized a few days ago that the CL175 I have may actually be the perfect beginner bike.
It's lightweight, at about 300 lbs in street trim. It is not dangerously powerful, while still having enough power to keep up with (and surpass) traffic. It develops its power low down in the RPM range, which makes it very friendly, particularly for new riders who might be put off by having to rev the engine way up. The seat height is quite low, and the riding position is neutral. The brakes are effective enough without being too powerful.
What a pity, then, that the only way to get one is to troll classified ads for months at a time, and even when you find a gem, it still needs some very daunting work.
