A day off the bike and out of the routine was enough to set our departure back to 8:37 this morning. Would make you think we didn’t have 70 miles ahead of us. The day was very lovely. The high was only in the low 70’s, so even as the afternoon wore on it never […]
I consider this day seized. I slept in, till 7:30!! I didn’t have to rush, I didn’t have to break down my camp and pack up. It was quite decadent! Cynthia and I hung out together today and had a very enjoyable time. First up was breakfast at Round’s, where I had pancakes and a […]
Today was as different from yesterday as possible. I still rode 60+ miles and there were many hills, but otherwise totally different. The rain cleared off and today dawned clear but pretty chilly. I heard a few people saying they were uncomfortably cold, but I actually slept very well. I wore my jogger plants and […]
I slept well last night, which was fortunate, because today was a challenge. I woke up around 6:15 to thunder. By the time I’d gotten changed out of my Pjs it was raining. I walked in to breakfast in the pouring rain, so I started the day wet and stayed that way until after my […]
When I was packing for this trip I kept thinking about the MUP tour in 2019 when I was so cold at night (in late July, in the Upper Peninsula) that I was wearing most of my clothes in bed to get warm enough to sleep. Not so on this trip. It was so hot […]
After being deferred for two years due to the pandemic, I’m finally here at the start of my vacation on two wheels. Montague MI to Mackinaw City, MI. Not to be confused with Mackinac Island, MI, which is spelled differently but pronounced the same way. I left Rochester today around 12:45, after kissing all available […]
I don’t believe that you can have a great, loving relationship for free. And for me, it seems, the price of admission has just always been too high. Don’t expect too much from my poor old heartYou can blame the unforgiving for my scarsYou might just be the best that I can findBut I can’t […]
Today, I am very unhappy. Michigan experienced out-of-the ordinary rainfall on Friday (my area got about 4-1/2″), causing power outages and flooding, including in my basement. The basement that I’ve spent the last several months and many thousands of dollars repairing and updating in the hopes of getting to the point where I don’t ever […]
Everyone I know has someone or something more important to them. Someone for whom they will drop everything, do anything for, choose over everyone, anyone else.
I think that, big or small, fit or fat, blonde or brunette, beautiful or mysterious, alluring or boring, my chips have been cast, and this is my lot. No more wonder, no more what if, or maybe one day, or hopefully someday… it is how it will be. As it is today, will be tomorrow, […]
