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.

Lunar Eclipse


Just to see this on a perfect Febuary evening. The Moon covered over 100% by the shadow of the Earth. I took photos. They did not turn out so good. Thank goodness for the net. I got a photo off Yahoo. I would like to get all voodoo and the like, but that's not going to work so well to. It is just cool looking at the event. Right out our front door. A perfect view. What are the odds. I asked Mary Anne out on a date tonight just to look at the Eclipse. We had dinner out before we drove home to watch the event. There will be a super low tide on the Bay tonight to. You can walk almost half way across the Bay. It's like a double good date. It's not spooky. More on an insperation. The dog across the street that never barks is just barking non stop. Animals know stuff. This barking dog is a little unhappy about the whole eclipse. Good thing the house we are in is well made and quiet. The dog well be barking for a few hours. Dog barks at the Moon. Film on the 11PM news.
Other news is I have been taking Reiki treatments. Better than any massage I have ever had. The Reiki is performed by Andrea Binder. She barely touches me. Her hands start out cool. Then turn to a hot touch. At the end of the hour, my body feels more relaxed than any massage could do. It's really an all together new experince. My rides after the treatments are much faster. With lots of power. The other benefits are relaxation to the soul. I am going to take as many of these treatments as we can afford. Well 3 a month is about right. Mary Anne took a treatment today to. If you are interested, look into a Reiki treatment.
The rides are going so much easier. The weather is almost warm at 50 degrees. Just arm and leg warmers with summer jersey, riding shorts and a warm under vest. I know there will be some more cold weather. These warm days are the treat before true Spring comes. A reminder of the fun to come. The reward for all the winter riding in the hard weather. Always going out. Never saying no to the weather. The blue ribbin for the long winter race. Going out on the circut, doing the miles. The prayer of the riders long road, that hungers for the flowers of spring.
