Despite the fact that we out live our pets and we all know this when we welcome them into our lives, it still doesn’t make it any easier when the time comes to say good-bye. After spending 16 incredible years together, today I gave my last kiss to “Nike, Jr”, my Pembroke Welsh Corgi and closest companion over the last 16 years:

Webmaster Scott landed safely Friday evening at Sky Harbor airport here in Phoenix. Within 9 hours (more…)
This past week a friend from Vancouver BC (”Alex”) rolled into Phoenix after being on the road since late September. If you’re wondering how it could take someone over 3 months to cover that distance on a bike, well, (more…)

Last time I rode with Paul was in late August when I met him and a few other friends from Phoenix in Durango, CO (those who follow my travels know I was returning from my 15,000 mile Alaska journey). While in Durango, Paul’s bike (a BMW 1200S) acquired a nail in the rear tire. While in the process of “reaming” the tire for repair roadside, the bike fell off (more…)
I’ve been way to busy frolicking and posting Journey Reports on my website to “update” this blog. I’m currently in New Hampshire on what I am calling the “Fall Foliage Frolic”. Since I’m riding my FJR motorcycle, I wanted to call it the “FJR Fall Foliage Frolic” but the Matriarch voted that down saying it was too difficult to pronounce.

I’m still frolicking in the fall foliage here in the Vermont/New Hampshire area. Current Journey Reports can be found at this link:
