Life Ain’t Over
Until I say it is…and I’m taking their love with me… I’ve often heard people ask, what is the purpose in life? Got me. I don’t have a clue what that is. All I know, is that I gotta live it to the best of my ability. There may be some grand scheme somewhere in the universe, but I’m not privy to it. I’ve just always operated on the principle that life happens and I just got to figure out my next move. My personal purpose in life is to live it to the fullest. That’s it. Tha

Cold ride…Hot Ride…Wet Ride???
Finally! We’re riding. We’ve been pushing the weather a bit with this awful spring we’re having but it’s all in preparation for the 50-State Ride. And that plan seems to be working well.

Mother’s Day
So, the picture is crooked. Give me a break. It was 5:15 in the morning and I just woke up. Nothing is straight at that time of the morning, I’m just saying. This is a tough one for so many whether their mom is still alive or not. Most of my friends have lost their mom by now and it becomes a day of celebrating of who they were with a load of grief. Then, there’s the family dynamics that exist everywhere that can make family events challenging. Mother’s Day last year was

The Forgotten?
I have done some research over the last little while or so and discovered something that I find a bit confusing but, at the same time, not. You look at all of the groups, organizations, systems in place, etc., and one thing you will find is that there are very few, if any, depending on the region you are in, groups and systems for men that have gone through trauma or been victims of some sort. Yes, there are programs or groups that help men, but a vast majority of them help e
