Today is a good day. I woke up sober. That's 1,297 in a row, but who's counting. Today, I "hard-mounted" my saddlebags after reinforcing them with some creative engineering and random things around the house. They look really good. Thanks go to my neighbor and riding buddy Ben H. for helping.
Just as I was about to take a celebratory ride, Kristi showed up with my favorite (only) grandson, Benjamin. The boy is truly a delight and is much better behaved than his mother was as I recollect.
After a very brief amount of time of spoiling young Ben, I embarked on a short adventure, all by myself. It was a beautiful day for a ride thru the wind farms of Taylor and Nolan counties, topped off by a late BBQ lunch at Buck's in Sweetwater. Then 150 miles later, I find myself at home and writing a blog of all things. I don't know why, but the blog begins.
I have never written my thoughts and ideas down before, probably from some deep seated insecurity about people judging me or thinking I'm stupid. I used to care a lot about what other people thought of me, until it dawned on me, other people probably do not think of me any more often than I think of them. Since I am human and selfish by nature, my thoughts are usually about me, my world, and what I like or don't as the case may be.
This blog is probably going to be a rambling mess but I hope to focus on these particular ideas and thoughts:
My relationship with God thru Jesus Christ (because I am a recovered alcoholic God, may be referred to as Higher Power, Power greater than myself, and other 12 step friendly labels. .
My beautiful wife and soulmate for these past 33 years, Kim or Maw or KatieFaye.
My daughters Kristi and Whitney and the offspring of aforementioned daughters. So far we have Benjamin, (mentioned above) but Whitney as joined the breeding club and is due to add another grandchild in July 2010.
The husbands or, babydaddies,( Jon and Jeremy) may merit mention from time to time.
My 2007 Honda VTX 1300R and the adventures it takes me on.
Enough for the first day.
