Large Fella on a Bike

Straight Up

...I fear for a People, a Society, any Culture (ours, America-mainly), that does not reconnect themselves to something so pure, simple & joyous, as riding a bicycle as an adult.

Recently received an email from a pal in Pennsylvania who was ready for a new chapter to open up and kick in.
He's a retired surgeon who saved many a life, made more than a few better, and did what he could to slow the flow of the Big Black Curtain.
And he's had his own personal share of tribulations thrown at him too... a number of Ticker related issues, that ultimately led to an early retirement from the one thing he loved best, Opening up People to fix em.
He got the big All-Clear from his own personal physician and that was that, Bicycle Time.
We back & forthed a couple times, and then he waited patiently (like any rational grown-up would who is on the cusp of reconnecting with the best of being a child all over again), and a couple weeks later, The Dream was ready to crack open...

A beautiful bicycle, a grown-up who is ready & willing... The Pure Unadulterated Possibilities.

Here's to That, Always & Again...

Writing Still,

Life, Writing Still.

I Am...

writing again.

 

The Book that is.

Who gives a shit, right?  I dig... but it was a promise made to MySelf, and I am trying to keep the damn promise.

 

Feels good this time.  It's not bogging me down into a state of black, crappy, shitty, sadness.  Hopefully that funk is gone and I can push through to conclusion.

Feeling organized with layout, fingers are strong, Macbook's battery is charged/drained/charged/drained...

Keep typing motherfucker, Keep Typin.

floating around Facebook got me thinking.

My single greatest fear as a parent is --not sharing enough information with my daughter.

Could be current events, the grand metaphors of Life & the Living of it, who Woody Allen is, what a Half-Step is, what a Mono-Chrome computer monitor looked like, what Bee's Knees means, how to make a Stink Bomb, or executing a perfect Around The World with a yo-yo, or Watergate.

The list is huge, expansive, growing and changing.

The most involved aspect of parenting for each new parental generation is walking that delicate tightrope of:
Staying in the Now, looking toward the Future, while honoring all the years Past.

It's endless, and it keeps me awake most nights...
