I'll always remember the Captain Dondo who made each issue of Mountain Biking magazine so memorable. Sounds like a pretty sane strategy.

Social networking is just a convenience anyway, an ephemeral reinforcement to the paper-or-electronic ephemera of our address books, hard drives, cell phone memory, etc. Human contact is fragile by nature and must be nurtured.

I'm tempted to join some of Emily's facebook clubs but I'm hung up happily in Farmville thanks to Rory! So now I understand why I held down the campsite while you all took a walk. Not that I thought a walk with your lovely wife was weird. That vacation was one of the best things to happen in my first year of retirement. Except for the fact I was hauled off in the ambulance last Sunday, I think my health has improved greatly since I quit work. So I'm more than ready to be poor and start over. Seems in the end I don't really care about any of the "stuff". Has no use, no meaning and no joy. Give me a tent, sun and a beach (-: I guess I’m going to have to use some snail mail to connect with my busy nephews.

A really neat machine shop off the back of his house. I was really into bikes at the time (built several) and we talked about bikes for days! He was into vacum tube stereo equip as well and had a awesome setup in his living room. Any way to get in touch with the family? Wanted to catch up. Please past on my info.

I'm chust checking on you, Carlos. How's the leg, knee, ankle or whatever you killed at Killingaton? Tell Luke and Rory that Wooly (aka the prince of fur) has been asking about them. He is ever-grateful for Luke's sharp eye for talent and absolutely loves living in our kitchen. Will send peectures soon. Ever since Tom Kellog sent it for a bbectomy, my Merlin is keeping from getting old. Walk on comrade. Boris P.S. I'm thinking of shooting a blue bike on a blue background again. Is it safe? Add 8 and seven,….hmmm,…is this a trick?

I mean, where would we be without it? Cold, dark, and dirty, say I. If you can keep soap soapy, then civilization as we know it is safe. And if a marriage is based on nothing more then putting things back where you found them--and a good 30 minute walk--then it's all good. Have fun on the bike....

Thanks for returning. Funny how the minor things of life can flare up. Keep the faith and maintain any riding time possible. Today I hopped on my single speed mountain bike and rode down a rails to trails trail to a regional tourist trap (Old Ochard Beach) and back. My lungs and legs needed the rush. Keep the faith.
