Nov 19, 2010 18:14

September 2003-I am speeding down a two-lane New Jersey highway on a tandem bicycle, quite literally a bicycle built for two. My bike captain Ed, who is doing the steering, occupies the seat in front of me. We have been on the road for nearly six hours today and have covered nearly 75 miles. The trees lining the road part for a moment, and I can ( Read more... )

Well done. I enjoyed reading. Brought back memories of our early marriage days we mountain biked so I can relate to that completely. But I have no musical skill either voice or ear to my great sadness. You are extremely lucky to have been able to experience both. Well written.

Breath and breathe and Live. Your writing captures some of those special moments that can help sustain us through the rest of our more ordinary times.

Those little moments of joy, utter bliss and contentment, are to be cherished. You describe them so well.

Thank you. You're right. I love those little moments.

Hmmmm. I like it. It's a little different then I expected. I like how positive it is though. It's happy. I wish I could find that more in music these days.

Thanks. It turned out a little different than I thought it would, too, but I think it works. And I finally wrote a happy entry for you. *smiles*

Awwww, I hope you do find that more in music again.

I still want my springtime bunnies though. I have hope you will come up with a disgustingly happy entry just for me. Lol! Haha! JK! I do find that in music, just not at school as much as I would like. I'm sure you can relate.

Is this week's entry at least a little bit closer to your springtime bunnies wish? It talks about animals, at least. So maybe it's closer. Maybe? Lol. Okay, probably not.

I can so totally relate.
