29 Years

It’s been a good day. It started slowly as we took our time climbing out of bed, enabling each other to be late taking turns hitting snooze. Walking to the office behind schedule, we missed the group walk to Starbucks, but Kelly and I found our way over shortly after, passing those returning. I treated [...]

Why I return for my 4th year I cannot say. During lunch we recalled lasting memories of pain including getting on the bike the second day, [...]

2006 Gateway MS-150

On September 8th I’ll be driving 2 hours into to the middle of Missouri for the 2006 Gateway MS-150 bike ride. This two-day ride benefits the National Multiple Sclerosis Society and most people do 75 miles each day for 150 miles total, hence the name. If I’m feeling particularly crazy (it’s been known to happen), [...]
