This Too is the Face of America

Miles to Go...


With the day's end in sight I was thinking how growth is a journey of opposites. The man who racked my bike on Friday had a stump for an arm. The rider in front of me at the start of the ride was missing a leg. This is not the case with the people I usually encounter and that's a big part of why I do this ride. I believe that it is only in our encounters with people who are different from us that we are given the possibility to enlarge our own spirit. And maybe if we more frequently stood in the company of "the other", we could end the utter mindlessness of war altogether.

Here's the Deale

Not to be deterred by the closing of our traditional coffee shop, we found a new destination in Deale which I'll call the Inn of the Greasy Home Fries.

False Advertising?

The email may have said "Fat and Slow," but Jose and Beth were as lean and mean as ever.

What a Week!


Trip to Africa, whitewater Kayaking and a 45 mile bike ride. Not a bad week for Laura.

When do we get to the Home Fries?

Mark has his eyes on the fries.

On the Road Again

How many of these to make a box of Wheaties?

...the endless road goes on.
