Big news, little bike



My sister recently came out of the closet.

No, not that closet.

This is a closet filled with tight leather, aviator sunglasses, studded belts and black gloves.

OK, maybe not that closet, either.

But if there's a closet filled with scarves, cute capris, and a Vespa - which is basically the Schwinn cruiser of motorized bicycles - then she just came out of it. (To our parents, though she's been openly Vespa-ed for a few weeks now to many of us. But since I had to respect her unnatural fear of them, I waited to share the big news rather than risk exposing her to my dearest Mommie.)

Oh yeah, and there's a blog in that closet. And it's really funny.




So if you want to read about my sister's adventures in Vespaland, go here. Frequently.

I must admit that I'm a bit reluctant to direct you her way as she was doled out more wit and writing talent than I got at birth. (Hey, she's the first - by the time I was born only diluted genetics were available.)

Also, she has a life and a Vespa, which are two things I'm working on. (I'm really not. Life and bikes scare me.)

But who am I to deny you the pleasure of reading humorous tales of my sister's Vespa trips, attempts to join/create a biker gang and plea for vanity plate suggestions?

Some things you just have to share.

Enjoy!

Actually, the parents are still feeling a little conflicted about the Vespa, but we're trying hard to accept the shiny little red Italian into our family and adjust to our daughter's previously secret lifestyle. We're alternatively gratifed and irritated that her siblings knew and didn't tell for these long weeks. But we are unreservedly converted to the blog--she is brilliant and she is ours. But her talent in no way diminishs Mrs. Dub's--in fact, most will note a common strain of self-deprecating humor and popular culture awareness in their prose. Even all that beach sun and pool chlorine over the years couldn't fade Mrs. Dub's unique color and authorial genius.

Seriously, everyone has to read it! Gin's been my favorite writer since 7th grade.
