Just some random thoughts on my day off, in no particular order…
- Camping is fun when you get to go home at night and sleep in your own bed.
- Weight Watcher frozen meals are not very satisfying.
- It’s funny that you can go on a great bike ride and it’s not your legs that are hurting when you finish.
- Spending the day with family and friends is very relaxing.
- Girlfriends are irreplaceable.
- I’m surprised at how much I miss seeing John now that he’s working all the time.
- When you ride through an area where the grackles have been roosting, you get bird poop all over your water bottles.
- My blog hasn’t been hacked in over a week!
- My poor greyhound Tucker was obviously abused during his racing career, and I wish I knew how to make him trust people again.
- Dating can be fun, even when you’re almost 40.
- Remote controls must taste good to dogs.
- Three-day weekends are wonderful things.
Also, just for fun, I thought I’d start a running list of strange things you can see while riding.
-
A bobcat sitting in the middle of a bike path totally unconcerned with people passing by.
-
An old man smoking a cigarette while riding a bike.
-
A man and a woman riding a tandem while the man talks on his cell phone.
-
A lady riding in her bedroom slippers.
I’m sure there’s more to come…

Hi ,
I have recently been assigned to help Linda Merlino promote her book and she has requested that I find as many cancer related blogs as I can to help. What we are looking for is anyone willing to either review her book, do an author interview, or a guest post in which the author would write an article and you would post it on your blog or website. This tour is running in October, so that would be the month where we would coordinate a date to post.
I would have emailed you, but couldn’t find a link.
Here is some info about the book in question:
It is the fictional account of twenty-four hours in the life of a young woman with breast cancer, the day she gives up hope of surviving and the day she is taken hostage in an all-night market by a killer more deadly than her disease.
Here is a short synopsis:
Hudson Catalina has given up. Having lost both breasts to cancer, she is emotionally and physically exhausted, no longer willing to endure the nausea and crushing weakness that chemotherapy causes, until the wrecked-by-life young Buddy Baker arrives, bent on murder. A touching story of despair, abuse, murder and survival takes you on a journey through the darkest places of the human mind and spirit, and in the end leads you back out of “the belly of the whale” enriched by the experience.
If any of you might be interested, please contact me. I look forward to hearing from you, and thanks for your time!
