With my retirement in February came a real sense of the need to invest my time wisely. Your post on Easter Sunday put a point on the idea.

For as often as I’m consciously aware of this when I’m actually on the scooter, I wish there were a sure fire way of remembering it when I’m not. Well put, Steve!

It’s strange to see you serious. Must be your New Jersey upbringing.

Most of the time I don’t think too much about it. But I do want to keep riding and riding…

Conchscooter: I like your comments especially when I have to look up a word — bourne. You really think a long ride would put all these thoughts aside?

Easter is a time of spiritual renewal, and I cannot help but find so many parallels to “Highlander.” The theme song, “Who Wants To Live Forever,” sung by the late Freddie Mercury of Queen is one of my favorites. I suspect all who ride are a bit like the immortals… But as far as I know that was only one truly immortal. His death and subsequent rising is the cornerstone of Western Civilization.

Fondest regards,

You keep putting it off. No wonder death is on your mind. No rides in the great beyond…the bourne from which no traveler returns. Eh?

I had never seen the movie but it is a good clip to remind all of us that we are mortal. I just celebrated another birthday and similar thoughts came to mind.

As hard as I try to pay attention I continually get swept up in the noise of living.” Eloquent.
