Forest for the Trees


Forest for the Trees, originally uploaded by Sabine Dukes (be back soon).

 

Welcome to my new blog!

Bella babble is gone. Time to seperate myself from so much bellaness. Plus, there was just no place for me on the new Bella site. As it should be.

And, with me laid up on the couch, I had a little time to put together my new personal site. However, I am still feeling the effects of the concussion, so there’s no warranty on this place. It could come crashing down any moment and probably looks terrible in any browser except IE7. I am blaming all my failings right now on the concussion.

When I think back on the crash, the bonk to the head is what keeps me awake at nights. The broken ribs are a real pain, the broken collarbone an expensive annoyance…but a bonk to the head is scary stuff. I wasted too many brain cells in my youth and can’t really afford to lose any more.

I have come to LOVE racing on the track…but have no idea if I will be able to get back into it like before. I feel like a jilted lover. I had no idea the track could do this to me and if I can ever trust again.

Maybe its time for long lovely mountain bike rides. Somehow, the relief to my soul, always comes in the mountains.

In other news, I hope to be offering prints for sale on this site. Look for info on that soon!

Be sure to check out the slideshow on the sidebar over there —> . It contains photos from some of my Flickr contacts and there is some wonderful stuff being created out there.

What else, oh, for you facebookers, there is a feed of facebook status thingies down there. So, thats nice.

Okay, see you out there.

You bloggy looks fabuloso in Firefox 2 for Windows, so no worries about your cross-browser compatibility.

Yeah, the scary head-banging at the track. I was getting all psyched again for some more racing until you guys went down. I’m glad you’re all through the surgery, etc. Now it’s just a matter of sitting and waiting for the body to heal. Nothing wrong with filling the time with long mountain bike rides. Decide what inspires you and what is worth the risk and do that!

Pretty! And all the neat little side-streets and shortcuts…that noise you just heard was my productivity hitting the floor!

How do I get a gravatar?

Cool site!

The concussion thing gets a bit scary. The good part of mine is I remember nothing from the start of the race basically to the time I was in the CT scan. Lots of stuff best wiped from memory.

And besides my own concerns about getting out on the track there are the concerns of Ms. Chatterbox I have to consider. We will see what works out in the end, but it was so much fun up to the crash. Lots of stuff to think about as the physical healing takes place.

Looks amazing! The color scheme is great. Can I hire you do make ours?

BethWellie July 21st, 2008 at 8:45 pm

There is obviously a lot to know about this. I think you made some good points in Features also.
