The Present Moment
We made the pilgrimage from Naples back to CT Friday and Saturday. We drive to the midpoint in Lumberton NC, and it is tedious. Flying is so much easier, but I wanted to bring some junk for the beach on MV and have two cars available.
A word of caution: Keep your crash helmets that you used today on if driving on I-95. About three out of ten drivers I noticed texting while driving , and most of them were under 30 I would estimate.
I had a choice of scrambling to do a blog yesterday but I was drained. I chose to give lessons on ten speeds bike riding to a few grandchildren, and catch up on hugs and stories with family, and play card games like Moo/riddle me this with the kids.
Quite rewarding, sorry for my lapse in self- promoting our current specials.
I hope you will settle for the charts and texts I posted today. A reminder our BEST charts aren’t published to the public.
