I am about 80% confident my scooter will sell this weekend. But I don’t have the cash in bank account yet, so this baby is still up for offer.
If you’re thinking about it, think faster!
BUY: my 2006 Honda Jazz scooter
Thank you, my scooter is now sold. I appreciate all the interest.
Should it sell tomorrow (fingers crossed) then I’ll be able to get my hands on a bicycle. I went down to Horus Bicycle Works today to have a look and William is likely going to set me up with a brand called Stevens. It is new to Canada. I think the model I’ll be commuting on is the Strada 600. He’ll set it up with fenders, lights and a rack on the back so I can attach bags if I need. Future plans call for getting Coral a bike and a trailer to tow Mads. And maybe another trailer like the ones homeless biker people have… cargo trailers. I could pack my DJ rig about on a bike!
So scooter sells, I’ll be a biker like my friend Dave and I’ll be able to pay down even more debt. Huzzah. The scooter doesn’t cost much to operate but I’ll also see a little savings every month on what little it did need (about $35/month… so like half a cell phone bill).

I was reading the Bob Lefsetz email the other day and he was talking about the book Juliet, Naked by Nick Hornby. I love music and one of the few things I like more than listening to music, or making out while listening to music, is reading about music (while listening to music).
Nick Hornby wrote High Fidelity. I never read that but I’m sure its pretty good. Juliet, Naked is getting some good reviews and positive buzz, I like Bob’s emails… so I bought it. I don’t read a ton of Fiction… which is odd, because when i read a book that I like, I really like it. So I thought its time to dive into some make-believe for a change (that and my books about Quadra and Money are interesting; but also kinda boring and are taking me forever, so time for a break).
I’m only on chapter two but so far I like it. Nick tells the story of Duncan and Annie and Tucker Crowe but he also talks about music. About listing to music; being a fan; being a casual listeners; what it means; what it does for each of us. Duncan is a super obsessed music fan. His nerddom shames me. His life partner Annie is his suffering side-kick. In Chapter one they travel to America from their home in the UK to go on a pilgrimage of sites for Duncan’s favourite musician Tucker Crowe. Chapter two has them at home in the UK and Annie is starting to feel like Duncan is not the man for him and a little depressed at some of her life choices and how boring it all is. Duncan thinks Annie is an idiot. Then a CD arrive sin the mail and…. god dammit MADELYN GO TO BED.
“One thing about great art,” Duncan thinks after his first listen to Juliet, Naked, “it makes you love people more, forgive them their petty transgressions. It worked in the way that religion was supposed to, if you thought about it.”
I’ll have to tuck into more tonight after I get home from DJing at The Clubhouse. If you’re going out, maybe I’ll see you there for drinks and music and friendship… if not… go with yourself.
The Morning After
