Either can make me feel useless and ancient.

So not to worry about comments here.

Kind, warm-hearted, and clever. You sound as if you are running for political office. Karl Rove was in town yesterday. Did he stop at your place when he left here???

When you are famous and in power will you make sure I get some sort of grant?

I currently have the kind of headache that makes blowing my brains out seem like a good idea. It would be different if I spent the day drinking, or drinking and smoking cigars, or drinking, smoking cigars, and chasing skirts. But I spent it with a publisher who has commissioned a series of humor stories from me that have nothing to do with motorcycles.

I wanted you to know I read your blog tonight and got a good, clean, decent smile out of it. The smile was so broad that I could have hung the corners of it on my ears. But I have this headache that is turning me into a psycho beast at the moment, and all I want to do is write comments on Key West Diary. If it is all right with you, I’ll come back tomorrow and leave a kind, warm-hearted, clever comment. Will that be okay?

Fondest regards,
Jack Riepe

Mostly because everything was easy and familiar. But lest I be branded a Luddite I figured it was time to change.

You know, when I think about snow and two wheels I think about your blog. You are the real winter deal.

Not a passing fancy or delight. Downright addiction. I eat far too much of the stuff and I fear one day i’ll regret it. But still I go on.

And wouldn’t it be nice to have a Triumph…

Luckily I don’t know what a Figaro is, nor do we have Big Jim’s Chocolate chip cookies here but now I need a chocolate fix.

too bad that Triumph sweatshirt didn’t come with the machine

I’m sitting there thinking I’m looking like Steve McQueen until I see the picture.

Then I realize I’m a geek with a Triumph sweatshirt and no Triumph. To make it worse a friend with a Triumph and an iPhone makes a picture of me using Fatbooth.

I’m humble now.

That’s as may be but I smile because I just got done riding My Triumph. Gray suits you.
