tooling down the road


I write for me.


I have said that several times in my blog.  Even though it is not true.


If I wrote only for myself, there would be no Same Life -- New Location. 


I obviously write because I enjoy communicating with people.  Even when I do not know who they are.


Now and then, the veil of internet anonymity drops.  Writer and reader get to know one another better.


A reader sent along this photograph as a witty nudge on motorcycles.  With the suggestion that she thought I was already part of Malcolm Forbes's motorcycle gang: Capitalist Tools.


Clever.  It was certainly better than a photograph of what another reader's nickname for motorcycles: organ donor machines.


I have started walking on my injured ankle.  For this first time since March, I have a shoe on my right foot.


That can mean only one thing.


It is time to start shopping for that shiny new motorcycle.  Maybe not a Norton 961
café racer.  But something similar.


A bit less expensive.  But just as shiny.  Fast. 


And every bit age-inappropriate.
