last year's 50th birthday plan to stay at a light house and photograph whales from the beach in a remote spot where they come close enough to the beach to hear them breath and see their eyes got lampooned when my current spouse broke her knee cap while out with her girlfriends. ruined my whole spring and ate up 2 weeks of vacation time. she heeled up fine. such is life.

I still got 2,000 miles of riding in last spring and summer. do what you can where you can! :-)
