Can I start with that book or do I have to read the series?

My experiences in Maine were life changing. They hold a special place in my mind and heart. There are a few references to Maine on the blog. The post from 14 years ago titled “Renewing a Dead Battery” is a good look at the experience there.

Because it is an old post the images didn’t transfer correctly into WordPress and look blurry. You need to click on each individually to see them sharp.

I wonder if you’re reading about Tucker and Kane in War Hawk?

Dogs live in a manner than many humans strive to achieve — living in the moment as you describe. Religions are built around that. And like you, I wish I could do that. Riding helps me temporarily but the effects are lingering longer now when I get off the scooter or motorcycle…

One of the main characters is a military dog, a Belgian Malnois and his former Army Ranger partner. Dogs really just live in the moment it seems, no worries about the future and no regrets about the past. I wish I could do that sometimes.

Falling short seems to be an important part of life for me. You know the old adage, there’s more learning in failure than success…

Riding definitely can help me stay in the moment. I like to think I can take some of that lesson to the other parts of my life.

Like you, my Vespa scooters suggest Ride Me as well. Now they have to share me though with three motorcycles. So far the garage remains a harmonious space!

I am slowly learning to appreciate the half filled cup. It took a long time…
