It's been a rough winter. I've been sick for most of it. I'm finally feeling like I'm on the way back now, but still not thinking clearly. I rear-ended someone yesterday because I just wasn't paying attention to things the way I should have. Just a love tap. No damage to them and minor damage to my car. I guess I'll just keep it until it dies. The little cosmetic bs makes it so hard to sell for a decent price. It's a 2000 so it should have at least another 12 years before it gives up and quits, right?

I'm continuing my old habits of not sleeping. Sunday nights are the worst. Does that mean I'm in the wrong job?

I'm still stressed about money, but I'm not sure you can ever not be stressed about money in this culture of ours. I get so frustrated. I've heard that there are other cultures that are a bit more settled and don't constantly feel a threat of money breathing down your throat. If this is true of any of you outside of America and you're looking for some new neighbors, let me know.

A couple more weeks until the motorcycle license gets taken care of. Then it's time to find the bike So far this is what I've got lined up to get started on :


It's a 1979 and a loaner from a friend. I'll have to get something of my own by the end of the summer. I'm dreaming about this:


Again we're back to the money issue. Why do I want so much more than I need? I make myself crazy sometimes. And if any of your riders out there have some kind words to help me rationalize getting a bike, please let me know.

And out of curiosity: Could you leave me a quick note if you read this? One or two words is enough. I'm thinking about editing down the friends list before I start updating more and I don't want to delete you if you are actually reading the rare posts that do come up. Thanks.
