Sunday, I didn’t want to hang out at the house by myself so I set out without a plan. The ol’ Harley was calling my name again so I saddled up and took off, heat be damned. An adventure awaits. I just knew it! My job was to find it. Continue reading Sunday Fun

Back from Cozumel
I’ve just returned from a scuba-diving trip to Cozumel* with some friends. The diving was splendid, the weather perfect, and the food terrible. This was my second trip out of town without my sweetheart and takeoffs and landings are still tough. Flying back home back to “real life” was especially tough.

Time to Move On
So I’m not angry any more. The furious rage that was burning inside me has calmed and been replaced by something less, uh, bitter. The new flavor of the month is sadness. I say “new” not because it wasn’t with me all along. It’s just bubbled up to #1 on the How It Hurts Now list. Continue reading Time to Move On
