Vision

I need to work on my vision.  Today was a much needed rest day. As I reflect on what we have done I wanted to mention a little about what I have learned, which to me, is quite a bit. We have been on the road now for almost two months and the mental and

Light

I think I see a light. I think that might be the end of the tunnel. I can’t smell the barn yet, but things are starting to look good for this old mule! First things first. Wayne is doing very well. His leg, of course, is swollen and sore. Our friend, Jim, a physician, gave

History

Today I had a lesson and a conversation with myself about history and it made me feel a lot better about where we are in our adventure.  All of us were concerned about Wayne and how he would feel after the trauma of yesterday’s incident. When I arrived at breakfast today at 6:00 AM, I

Doggone

Doggone. Today is going to be a short conversation. Today was a short ride. I can’t believe that one day after I said I may have been a dog in a former life, some of my former life kinfolks made us look bad. And Wayne now has a memory of this trip that will long

Bonds

I think I was a dog in my former life. I’ll explain later.  Today was a great day to be a human. Our stay on the Ohio River offered us peaceful views of the water and we woke this morning knowing we would have an eventful day. If nothing else, we were going to get

Numbers

I am not normally a numbers guy. But it is fun to keep up with how much we have done on our trip across the United States. I was interested in that today because tomorrow at some point on our ride, we will cross the 3,000 mile mark of our adventure! I realize that a

Yikes!

I would like to say that on an adventure like this, there are hard days and there are easy days. I would like to but I don’t know if I can. Early on, I thought there might have been some days that were easy compared to other days, but I am changing my opinion. The

Frustration

I’ve got so much to learn about life that by the time I grow up I am going to be teetering on the top of Maslow’s Pyramid! Today was a lesson in frustration and what a complete waste of energy it is when you are trying to get something done. Frustration is not a major

Memories

Sometimes I get frustrated because I wish I could remember more details about all the wonderful things that have happened to me or the awesome adventures I have had. Sometimes I wish I didn’t have as good a memory as I do. Today was one of those days.  When someone asks me about my first

Success

I have to credit Dana for today’s photo and the philosophical question of the day. The question we ask, “Are you willing to go the extra mile to get to Success?” The answer is “Absolutely not, when you are riding cross-country!” Just go to Houston. Before I tell you about today’s ride, I’d like to
