Wickenberg Run

I really enjoyed my ride today: click here to view trip plan.

I was a bit worried at first since it sprinkled rain ( yes it occasionally rains in the desert ) for the first 20 miles of my journey, but after Maricopa all was dry, although the temperature was never above 60 all day.

I had a nice breakfast at the Space Age Restaurant. After that it was north on old US 80. A much more pleasent trip today than my previous one. On that day I realized about 10 miles outside Gila Bend that I had forgot to top off my tank. I decided to go forward ( a decision I truly regretted as I worried until the next gas station that I wouldn't have enough to get there ). Today however it was a calm relaxed and enjoyable ride.

One the way back into Phoenix from Wickenberg, I saw my first vegetables growing in Arizona. There were huge fields of cabbbage alongside loop 303.

I took my camera today and took some photos. click here to view photos.

An interesting quote

I don't know who to give credit for this quote, "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without." I came across it while surfing the net. As I find myself in the midst of the end of another long term relationship, it is a poignant thought. I was chatting with a very special friend this morning, who just happens to be a key figure in one of my previous failed relationships. We have only recently become networked again here on this huge information highway. Hopefully we can keep the friendship alive as we continue along life's path.

Will I ever become a regular blogger?

In my thirties and forties I worked full time, often in excess of 40 hours a week. I often attended college classes two nights a week. I was a parent to two children and a husband to my wife. I still managed with all that to play an occasional game of golf and do other things that were strictly personally entertaining or rewarding. I often thought that I would still be a young man when my children were grown and I would have plenty of time to persue my personal interests, but I feel everyday like there is not enough time to do the things I want to do. I guess a lot of it is that I just don't have the energy, physically or mentally to do things the way I did when I was younger. Oh well, there is certainly truth to that old saying, "Use it or lose it."

Life's Tapestry

I came to a startling realization recently. Well not really all that startling, but it was a realization. My journey across life's tapestry is over half complete, assuming I don't live some extraordinary length of time. I stopped a moment and reflected on times past... the good ones as well as those not so good. I certainly did not dwell or linger on the latter of those times. Now I try to concentrate on this times ahead, and hope I have many more good times ahead.
