I had to think about this long and hard, but I finally decided I needed to do it. I sold my Chinese scooter, Ladybug. I'm spending the money to buy a custom built ukulele, which I am learning to play quite well. I think that might be safer in Pinellas County, where the traffic is horrendous and the construction is everywhere. But then gain, I might buy a used Vespa...

Annie passed away Thursday morning, in the wee hours. She waited for me to leave to go home to bed. I miss her terribly.
Even though I helped prepare her body for cremation, and saw the van take her body away, this is all still so surreal to me. I yearn for her to accompany me on her bass while I play....
One of our best friends is buying her scooter.

I haven't been here lately. My best friend, scooter buddy, and S.O. is in Hospice House. She is terminally ill. My heart is breaking, I am losing the love of my life. It seems like it is taking forever for her to make her transition. The longer it goes on, the more fatigued I become. I have never done so much crying and weeping.
Being a Hospice nurse hasn't made it any easier. Knowing what to expect just seems to enhance my sadness.
Our friends have rallied around us, to nurture her, and make sure that I eat, sleep, take my meds, etc.
My supervisors at work have been very liberal and kind.
If you smoke, please quit. If you are young and are considering taking it up, please don't. If you are a cancer patient, eat right, don't miss treatments, stay positive, and enjoy life to it's fullest.

The last couple of days here have actually been warm enough to ride. I rode to market today to pick up a few things. It felt great.
Global Warming is actually kind of a weird name for it. The true name for it is Climate Change, and the planet is warmer than it used to be.
Although - what it causes is hotter summers and colder winters. Don't think for a minute that those glaciers that have been there for millennia, which are melting, has no effect on the weather... we're in for much more severe weather overall. It's going to get harder to produce food, raise livestock, and ride scooters. That sucks.

Wow, the photos look great. WTG. Did you see the article in Scoot! magazine about the other guy who did 1000 miles in 24 hours?
