It was seventy-seven degrees and sunny in Cleveland today, and though only a few trees are starting to turn, you can tell by the angle of the light and the scent in the air that autumn is here.

I disconnect on a regular basis. One way is on my motorcycle I only have one option when riding to be there, Riding. If I am not there in that moment I am a danger to myself and others. I can not answer the phone or read tweets, all of my presence must be there balancing between those two wheels.

I live alone but to make sure I don't just hide in my shell I make dinner one night a week for my girl friends family. Feeding them means I have to talk to others people and get feed back. Also nothing challenges your cooking skill like cooking for two people with Celiac and one Autistic teen.
