Points well taken

Thank you.


The biggest goal will be to get back into a healthy regimen, and lose a lot of the weight that is bothering me. Already my energy is up (thanks to sleeping fully, I imagine) but it's hard to remember what I'm supposed to be doing--although things to do always appear, and looking around me, I see many things that need to be done.

"Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day
You fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way
Kicking around on a piece of ground in your home town
Waiting for someone or something to show you the way

Tired of lying in the sunshine, staying home to watch the rain
You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today
And then one day you find, ten years have got behind you
No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun

And you run and you run to catch up with the sun,
but it's sinking
And racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Every year is getting shorter, never seem to find the time
Plans that either come to nought,
or half a page of scribbled lines
Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way
The time is gone the song is over,
Thought I'd something more to say"

Thanks, Pat and Cynthia, Andrew and Laura, et all... Next big thing is to ride to Kitimat, BC at the end of the month; then I'll either ride on to Alaska or back to Vancouver. After that, I'm aiming for Europe, I think.

No, but you can rent one. Lots of folks do.

It could be more economical to purchase a bike over there and then sell it when one is done playing in Europe. (:
