Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

What remains of a Luna Month. The adult lives for about a week and doesn’t eat. It’s sole mission is to reproduce.

About to depart on another mega-walk on non-slippery pavement. Considerably shorter than this one. #MOTD

Made it. Busy day. Gorgeous 80 mile ride to Kutztown, then rushed to West Chester Porchfest to hear daughter’s band play a set. This was followed by a very late lunch and then a sweet nap with Jackie.

Another word that seems to be getting a lot of use lately is bespoke. I know it is not exactly the same as custom but close enough. This is directed at the entertainment sector so I am effectively yelling at clouds.

As you were.
