midnight sleepless on one too many cups of coffee
visions of spring
and my new body
light on my feet

I think I will live in the future will have been for a while
here in my private asylum

pocketful of miracles
hidden in the night
a promise of spring

spring sure is taking it's time up here - rain last night coated everything in ice - i'm hoping it has its shit together by the time my new bike gets here this week

spring's here and it's coming your way

first time I rode a two wheel bike on a road I did it on a borrowed bike that I was not supposed to take outside the yard, I took off ran a stop sign and plowed into the side of car. I got up and ran like hell cause I knew I was in trouble , the driver had to run after me to bring me back for the bike and make sure I was alright.

Seems like I was always breaking rules on the sly and running away from trouble.

I got saved in the seventies when Jimmy Carter was president and born again was just starting to be a prerequisite to being elected president which brought us to our first Christian emperor since Constantine, George W. Bush, who took orders directly from god, and looked into Vladimir Putin's eyes and saw his soul.

done ranting going riding
I hope days like this will be coming your way soon, perfect riding weather.

I don't remember much about my first bike ride after I crossed the railroad tracks at the bottom of the hill - what I remember most is my surprise that my parents let me do that at so young an age - at the time though it was truly a country back road - it had been gravel when we first moved there and just recently paved - it was a quite corner of the county then - before the aluminum foundry and nuke plants & whatnot with the construction workers and heavy trucks making a runway out of the road - I just remember going down that road all by myself and I remember looking at road maps in awe realizing that roads went everywhere & I could get to them all from the road that ran by my house -

Went a little farther today, about seven miles. Felt pretty good while doing it but a couple hours later I reek of BenGay™

Always liked that Wheel song that they used on the Kesey Bus Movie Soundtrack

Little bit harder, just a little bit more
Little bit farther than you than you've gone before
