Today was a tiring ride. The wind in my face at 20mph and up hills was a little much. But pedal on I did just thinking I must be crazy. My thought on this is as long as I take it slow and try not to over do it I should be fine. Now I am feeling it. I should sleep well tonight. Got my first ride of the new year in and that is what really counts.

It amazes me that a dog or cat can be abused and still have the capacity to trust and love. Humans can learn something from dogs and cats.

I’ve always hated when people ask me what I do for a living. A job does not say who I am. A job is what I do to earn a living. I always feel that when I get asked that question someone is judging me by the job. Women asking me because they are sizing up my income and what kind of standard of living we will have or could I support them.

Who I am is someone who likes to ride my bike all over the place, going on long hikes, always have a book and camera with me, and wandering aimlessly. That is all people need to know.
