how (not) to fall off your bike

how (not) to fall off your bike

For those of you who haven’t heard already, I had my first major biking accident since high school yesterday evening.  I’ll be honest – I don’t remember a lot of it.  But for those who have asked, here’s what I can remember: I was biking pretty fast down a trail somewhere close to my neighborhood;…

Farewell, Guinevere

Farewell, Guinevere

I’ll never forget the first time I saw a musical production of Camelot.  From that moment on, I was absolutely hooked.  I read every King Arthur book I could get my hands on.  (The Once and Future King is still one of my all-time favorites).  I memorized all of the songs from the musical, and wished…

Simple Felicity is, at its heart, a blog based on the unshakeable belief that happiness really isn't all that complicated. It's often found in the simplest of things: good food, good books, and good company.
