Riding Rigid

Views: 211

For those poor souls among you, who do not know, a “rigid” is a motorcycle with no rear shocks. Much like a old style bicycle. You feel everything, the road had to offer, and the first point of contact is your butt.

That being said, my son and I rode 700 miles to Mississippi and 700 miles back, plus about 100 while we were there. I would like to report two things, America’s pavement is not what it could be and I am too may be getting to upper age limits for this type of abuse. Never fear, I did not say I was growing up, just getting older.

So, we had a wonderful fatherson trip. Mississippi is a wonderful place to hold revival, because the heat would make Hell seem so near. We went mosquito hunting. We slept in hotels that appear to have forgotten that cleanliness is next to Godliness and we ate junk food whenever the mood struck without fear of some female clearing her throat. Yes, my faithful readers, we went deep into man land, where clean underwear is optional and belching is an art form.

But, I missed you all and am glad to be back. I prayed for you all while I was away and have left your names on God’s ears.

Be well and LIVE life, don’t let this disease rob you of really living, at whatever pace you need or can handle.

Hug yourself often and giggle

Hi Mac,

First of all, thanks for posting a comments on my weblog… http://celeni.blogforacure.com/weblog.

So did you go to Little Sturgis (by the way, my spelling sucks too)?

I emailed an excerpt from your blog to my boyfriend who has Stage 4 lung cancer. I sent him the “I am not cancer” in hopes that he will read your blogs and start expressing his feelings about this suck-ass disease. Pardon the language.

I have certainly enjoyed reading your blogs and will continue to do so…I say “blog” so easily now…10 – 15 years ago who would have ever guessed that communication would have reached this level? LOL

Hoping you are having a blessed day! Celeni
