  • Hunan Birthday

    I had birthday dinner at Hunan Gardens in Fredericksburg, VA with Anne, and Alexandria. The service was friendly, the platters were huge, and the food was delicious. It is my new favorite place in Fredericksburg.

  • Birthday Well Wishes

    Thanks in advance to all well wishers of a Happy Birthday on the 7th of October! Birthdays make me realize how far I am from better towns where nicer people gave me amazing parties. I am far from my REAL home in this town most obviously on my birthday.

  • Strange Mail

    The Strange Letter

    Weeks ago when I was super sick with Covid someone named Micheal tired to tell me there was something wrong with my car. I had never told them about the make and model of my car, or let them walk me to my car so how did they know anything happened with it? Creepy stalker crap this seemed to be. Then another strange thing happened with my mail. The Mercury club in Seattle, WA wanted to offer me a membership. I applied for membership YEARS ago when I was visiting my aunt Trish living in Bothell a suburb of Seattle, and they said I lived too far away. I had never given The Mercury my new address, and yet mail had been forwarded from one of my older Virginia addresses to me! How did they MAIL that crap? How is Virginia LESS far? Stalkers-stalkers all around! Proof positive people are sharing information about me behind my back, and getting it wrong.

    I am a domestic abuse survivor, and have had many ex-boyfriends many times steal money from me, punch me bloody in the face, and stomach. People on the Internet need to STOP forking information over to “friends” who say they want to “help” women in that stalker criminals say that sort of thing too ALL the TIME. The Internet is sadly a treasure trove of dangerous information and misinformation. I have been to some great night clubs, with fun nights, and had good relationships in other areas. In Virginia the clubs are nothing but con-artist abuse factories for bad men meeting new victims. This is why I go on SO MANY road trips out of state, and go FAR away to be social as often as I can hit the road by car, or Amtrak, or road bike. This is why I keep a P.O. box far from my home. An important aspect of data privacy many Internet chat boards forget to mention is do not use home addresses. Simply put don’t talk about women’s personal information behind their back you are NOT helping them, and getting it very wrong.

  • Bike Wishlist

    Oh how I want a new folding bike for my birthday. They are great for road trips, and fit in the trunk. Sometimes the cold weather can make you want to be MORE active.

  • Cafe Birthday Dinner

    Alexandria Menzies had her birthday party dinner today. We had Italian food at a really good place called Basilico before we dropped her back off at the University of Washington campus covered in mountain bikes. It really inspired me to fix up my bike again.

  • Dating Melodrama And Austin

    Sometimes I miss the constant dating melodrama Austin, Texas could create. Austin Texas home of bikes and bizarre love triangles.

  • Daily Song

    “Oh how I HATE being single, and NOT having a boyfriend!” This is the song that I sing EVERY day as I wake up. I am still a person who craves love just as much as when she had a husband, and gave birth to her daughter. My ex-husband was the one who abandoned and divorced me, and yet society blames the woman for the things the man did. Still I keep up hope that I will meet someone for a lasting relationship, and a new chapter of my life can begin even if I have to travel to the ends of the Earth to find it.

  • Yearly Reminder

    By Andrea Menzies

    This is my yearly reminder post that this is NOT my first year teaching. I still have the badges from my years teaching in 2009/10/11 in Austin, TX. I worked there for years after getting my University degree. I am on my third year teaching in Richmond. I took two years off for surgeries years ago, and now everyone strangely thinks I am “newly” employed.
