nudge, nudge
Bonnaroo!!!!! Bicycle!!!!! Daughters!!!!!!
Life is good. I would like to write about all of these things, and for right now I am going to make a quick note on biking and Mel. Yesterday I was riding my bike in a 70 mile loop, and as usual I wished that I had one of the three digital recorders that I never use with me so I could take down my thoughts. Three digital recorders, that's right. One for me, one for Dan, and then another one because Dan forgot that we already each had one. I bought mine for the purpose of dictating information, stories, etc and then transcribing it into my computer via Dragon Naturally Speaking, and somehow that just never seems to happen. I digress.
I've always wanted to get into serious bicycling. Of course life goes in different directions, and sometimes it seems impossible to focus on places I want to go in life and see them through. It occurred to me riding down the highway yesterday that this aspect of my life has been like a boat without a rudder, just hoping to catch the right wind and make some progress without tipping over. My life has been unbalanced like that, and my health and focus have suffered as a result.
After Mel asked me to sign up for the STP, I got a white board and hung it on my wall and wrote, in big green letters, "I have a goal!." It's certainly not the only goal I've got or ever had: it's just the one I needed and wanted right now.
It's not the first time Mel has provided a rudder for my life's boat.
Now it's late, and I need to go to bed. It's not everything I wanted to write. Perhaps I'll get another nudge in the next couple of days, and add some more.
