COVID-19 Changes
It is Wednesday, a lovely warm sunny day in Florida. I decide that even with the "Social Distancing" that we are trying to abide by, I can go to exercise and yoga at the club house.
Why?
1) there are only three of us spread out in that big room.
2) I decided to disinfect my hands before entering
3) I brought along a rag to touch any door handles or remote

It is Thursday, and my brother, my sister-in-law and her granddaughter Tasha are at LOVES truck stop souvenir shopping. Tasha has promised to bring souvenirs home to her kids.
My nephew's wife texts me, "Where are you?"
I text her back and with 15 minutes they are there to wisk me off for some sight-seeing. YEAH!!!
They take me to the Botanical Gardens. I am excited because I

First E-assist Trike Ride by Mesa, Arizona
March 7, 2020
I love seeing Bob and Rose again. They are such down-to-earth, open people. And so much fun to be around.
When Bob picked me up at the airport he told me he would be in a white van. I watched as white van after white van went by door 6 where I stood on the curb waiting. I studied each driver looking for Bob's signature wild hair. As soon as I saw him I smiled big, he did not

Hello Friends, Family, and Followers,
I am sitting at the Tampa airport. I have a couple hours before we fly and thought I would dash off a note to you. Life is more fun when shared, after all.
I have a keyboard that connects to my iPad by Bluetooth. I packed it and brought it along in case I felt like writing to you. But guess what! I packed the keyboard in the pannier

Marijuana and Alzheimer's
Isn't it a trip?
I have news on the new camper-trailer and a report on the Big Honkin' Trike Rally but that comes later.
Because I am thinking I need to score some weed. Not much, just a leaf to stick in my smoothie each day.
You see, I goofed up and it turned out to be fortuitous. I went to the dentist for Xrays. I grabbed the Discover Magazine and sat and read. I was grateful for the

The Dam Is Broken - Decisions Flow!
I am really surprised at how easy life and decisions can become once you decide on a path and start down it.
I still agonize a bit over decisions, I still hit major obstacles. But wow, I have made some major decisions (to me) and I don't feel a lot of regret or angst. Isn't it a hoot that at 66 we can still get a thrill out of life's challenges and twists and we still struggle and worry for

Decision Freeze and Then BAM! Shazam!
STUCK IN THE WHINE
I want to warn you, this first part may sound whiney. I have a whiner that sits on my shoulder and whines on and on and on.
"I don't want to," she whines.
But before I talk about that and lose your interest, please vote! No, this isn't a political plea. My book cover was nominated for cover-of-the-month. And I need folks to vote for THE JOURNEY CONTINUES. Click here

The last time I wrote to you I was just writing about the books and not about what is going on with me. Sorry, that is what happens with a passion and project that needs to be spread to have an impact.
So, what IS happening.
