Well, all that shameless plug crap I've been pulling can't be too bad, a magazine (Backroads) actually decided to buy rights to use some articles! How's that? Man, I'm stoked. It's on my blog at http://behindbarsmotorcycle.blogspot.com/ they want to use 'just after the equinox' and 'a boy and his bike'

I'm so pumped. I'm telling everyone!

Gotta have someone looking over my shoulder once in a while, keeps me on my toes. I never said I could spell... if it weren't for spellcheck I'd never have gotten this far.

Yeah, I seriously need help catching things. The title of the blog I look at like 5 times a day and didn't even see the typo. In the title! Lord. Someone help me, I'm such a hack.

Ha, if I could get that many people to read my work, I'd be pleased as a pig in poo.

Congratulations. It is good to see a fellow member get recognition.
