Steve's Story

Life Hi I'm teaching and administrating in a secondary teacher preparation program at a small liberal arts college--Simpson College--south of Des Moines, IA. I'm married to mary Jones an artist, illustrator, and art professor. Between us we have four children. My older daughter is getting married in August, and my younger daughter will begin her senior year at the University of Puget Sound. I still write, both in my professional field and creatively. I won the Iowa Poetry Association contest recently...Expand for more
, and am on the central iowa coffee shop/small venue circuit as a reader. Once completed a three-year program for lay ministry in the methodist church, and I preach and serve locally on occasion. Now I attend the United Church of Christ, given the UCC's progressive stance on gays and human rights in general. Am still running and biking. Remember how funny it used to be watching old guys run? That's me know. So that's the good stuff. Like everyone else who visits this, a lot of water under the bridge.

Books I tossed from my office. The keepers equal 4x as many.
Buy good garden hose.but don't drive over them.
Starlings gathering. Fall is coming.
Moberg gallery. Good art but been here too long
My family and son-in-law minus my son Shan on a Christmas 4 years ago.
Need a very good road bike at a very reasonable price? Trek 700 56 cc w/ @ 3,000 miles. New brakes and tires. $500.00
Bike 4 sale. Listed wrong model last time. 2009 Trek 1.5, 56 cc. Great shape, almost new!
Bastille Day is July 14, and Mary and I celebrated our 11th anniversary. Shopping at Best Buy, great Indian food (if one can use that adjective in Des Moines, and a fun, if not great Woody Allen movie.
Leave 4 RAGBRAI Sat. Start riding Sunday. After 2,000 miles training, I went to pitch my tent in prep. tonight for the overnights. Tent as important as bike. Got heat exhaustion prepping tent. Plan to leave every a.m.
RAGBRAI--why we do it
From the album: Wall Photos By Steve Rose RAGBRAI LX--tourist attraction
LUNCH = Deli hamballs, homemade hashbrowns built from fresh yams and Vidalia onions, and tomatoes fresh from our garden after a short [20 mile] bike ride. Great way to re-enter the planet after RAGBRAI
First one of the year. next comes pumpkin pie.
Fellow Cheapoos--how many of you hoard the free cards/envelopes you get from non-profits wanting you to support a good cause, then use them from Xmas cards. I just hope I didn't send a "happy birthday" or "sorry for your
Am especially missing our four kids and one son-in-law today. Pictured here are "my" 2 daughters Sarah and Risa, and my son-in-law, DB. Caroline, Mary's daughter Caroline, and my son Shan are not pictured.
Here's most of the cover art for first self-published book of poetry. Now if only Blurb, the @#$&*&^ company that is supposedly helping me, can figure out how to overlay a jpeg on the beige background and have the backgrou
1995 Mazda Miata for sale, 69,000 miles. asking $2,800 for it. It's in impeccable mechanical condition. Don't drive it enough to justify keeping it around. Call 515-979-2351 if interested.
Miata sold. Good, but sigh . . .
OK, things are too complicated for old guys like me. I buy some new undies and they come with 2 labels, one in the back where it belongs, and the other sewed grotesquely on front. This leaves me: 1. having to figure out
The robins in the neighborhood are getting a bit bold.
