About Me

I'm a bicycle rider. More to the truth I train on the bike to stay fit as I get older. I train to fight off the age. Diebedes, high blood pressure, trigeminal neuralgia, unwanted weight and the problems from that to. There is a host of other age related fun to. I let myself put on 110 pounds over about the last 12 years. Then the body just had enough. I was falling apart. So I started doing the only thing I knew how to do. Train on the bike. I was a competitive Cyclist from 1979 to about 1992. I gave it all up. Bad choice. In the end I would have been far better off on the bike. Oh well. The lessons continue. That's really the truth of it. The lessons continue. Everyday, every moment. Everything is connected all the time. Well, that's how I see the Universe for me. How you see it, is your business. Ah freedom of thought. I got married to a wonderful woman March 21st 2007. The love of my life. It's true! It took all these 58 years to get ready to love this one beautiful woman. A writer of poems. A writer of pros. So many people know her already.

Living on the Bay


Living is the key word. Not dead. Alive to take it all in. My eye's are open to the new day. That's the feeling I wake with each day. New adventure each moment. The players are all on the field. The coaches to the side. It's just you and the world before you. Jump in or just stand there, I jumped. Though, this time it's quiet nice. The view of the Olympic Mountain range in the near distance. Port Townsend across Puget Sound. Useless Bay below our palace. Nothing between. Large and small ships and boats go by all day and night. The Bald Eagle say's good morning at 8AM. The now migrating birds from the Arctic are passing through. Some will even stay the winter with Mary Anne and I. It's about as close as one gets to Paradise. Our benefactor's half way across the world, and will then stay in their warmer home for the Winter. My payment just do some work on the home I now stay in. Stay in and wake to the sunrise over all I have noted. Eat, rest, work, dream, ride the roads, meet the neighbors and take in all this Island has to offer. Island Time is now the time of things. The feeling is so large. I am taken by the vast and deep beauty, soulful embrace. My weak attempt at a photo just not enough. It's just the day. Just another day. Like the day before but not. It's a day I wish you were here. A time to share with those that are close. My luck just tearful. The lottery won, the ticket cashed in.
