Thursday, June 7, 2012 A list of notable things I have seen lately that I’m sorry I don’t have pictures of: Santa Claus on a Harley trike leaving the Walmart near my mom’s house. If I were a big old man with a bushy snow white beard, would I wear a red thermal under my […]
We set up the outdoor trapeze rig this month at Belmont Harbor. It was delayed a bit due to a permit issue, but opened to beautiful spring weather. On our first weekend out, two older women stopped by to see what was going on. Terry, in the green, was disappointed not to be able to […]

September and October, 2011 The changing of the seasons was one of the things I most looked forward to in staying in Chicago, and it did not disappoint. I loved it! Every day that I rode my bike, especially, the crisp air and the colored leaves filled my heart with joy! The yellow leaves in […]
Wed, Oct 12, 2011 Well, where have I been since I left off? My dad handed me off to my sister, who took me to her home in St. Joseph, Illinois. That would have been mid-May. It’s a tiny small town just outside of Champaign-Urbana, where Katie and her husband Jared work at the University […]
Sunday, May 15 to Wednesday, May 18, 2011 We arrived Sunday afternoon in significantly colder weather.

Monday I […]

Sunday, May 8, 2011 Chiefland to Inglis, FL 38 miles One of Larry’s friends stopped by to chat as I was packing up this morning. He’s a recumbent cyclist, so we talked shop a bit. Larry laughed and laughed about my raccon-eyes tan from my sunglasses. I guess you can see it better in the […]

Thursday, May 5, 2011 Tallahassee to Wakulla Springs to Newport 34 miles I thought I got a late start yesterday, finally getting on the road about 9am due to crossing into the Eastern time zone. But today I didn’t even get up til nine! After doing my laundry and Scott and Laura feeding me oatmeal […]
Friday, April 1, 2011 Salome to Aguila, AZ 28 miles Dan from Alaska, Coach, and I I said goodbye to the Wandering Wheels this morning after breakfast. They’ll be riding about twice as far and, of course, twice as fast, as me from here on out. They are a religious-inspired group, and at their breakfast […]
