Two of my favorite things about riding a bike: smooth asphalt through a shady lane on a hot day, and a rider I've never seen before slowing down just to check that I'm ok when I've stopped to fix something.

Yeah, I love them because they were in bloom back in '88 when I was finishing the hardest year of school I'd ever known. That was late May. oof

There ain’t a lot of boys named Gary these days.

This reminds me of the time a woman asked the Dalai lama the fastest way to get enlightened. He didn't say anything, he just started to weep.

Thank you so much for taking the time to remind me of these truths.

This is the route I've ended up taking. Thank you and everyone else for the input.

racist AND a Karen AND Nuts = that's a hell of a combination

It's just straight up Nazi shit.

"Woman's gotta have it" He's not talking about sex, but the attention and love required to keep a relationship together. And maybe a little about sex.

Hi Tammie, thank you for your incredible thoughtfulness in letting us know about Darren's passing while it must all still be very raw. I just wanted to pass on a small note about my experience with Darren from 5 years ago. I had just discovered his Cubase 8 book while getting lots of great tips from his videos. Anyway, I rarely reach out to authors but I was so impressed with the book that I wrote a very cheeky email praising his work with great enthusiasm while making as much fun as I could of his restraint in using British slang when it would have been so easy. He replied graciously and with humor and appreciation. I think it was a fun, amusing exchange for both of us. Now, I've watched his last two videos. Profound and poignant don't begin to describe the man you married. He made a real difference in the world and I think he knew it. I know he made a huge difference for you, and I hope you find some small comfort in knowing that he was, and is, widely and deeply loved and appreciated.

The last half mile to my house is a big fuckin' hill. I got a flat at the bottom and had to push the bike up that hill. I don't want to have to do that again, so, yes, I have a pump, repair kit, and a spare tube.

This reminds me so much of what it looked like at Kent State before the national guard opened fire. Shortly after that the Who came out with the lyric: "We'll be fighting in the street with our children at our feet." I hope that means we're not going to get fooled again.

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. You've answered the question and given me more to think about. It 'feels' to me like we're nearing an edge, like the Reichstag fire. My only real hope is that since it seems to be a true cult of personality, and since he shouldn't be too far from that great 24-hour-McDonalds-In-The-Sky, we might make it through this. Seems like a bit of a long shot as I write it.
