I haven’t purchased my turkey hunting tags for this fall yet, because I was wanting to reach the 2,000 milestone on my bike first. So now that I have made it (All the way to 2009 to be exact) it is time to buy the tags and head into the woods.
PS. I road past 2 [...]

8 X 3 = 24
Posted in Friends, Sports, Walking with God, tagged bicycle rides, bicycling, love, MS-150 on September 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
8 X 3 = 24, and that is the total number of combinations that can be found on the gears of my bicycle. Technically the owner’s manual gives a caution to using the extreme high and low sprockets together (so only 22 combinations are allowed).
The rear cassette (gears directly attached to the rear wheel) is [...]
MS-150 minus 50 & 1 day
Posted in Friends, Sports, tagged bicycling, MS-150, Multiple Sclerosis on September 2, 2009 | 3 Comments »
You’re supposed to ride the MS-150 in two days. I am going to ride it in one. Then you are supposed to ride 150 miles, but I am only going to ride 100 miles. To make sure I do it all I have a friend riding with me, Merrill Jacobs. He works next door to [...]
We’re Talking Baseball

Seventy-five friends of mine all went to the Royals game last week. The Royals . . . lost! The tickets came with a coupon for $10 in concessions (enough for a bag of peanuts and hotdog). Afterwards there were fireworks. A bunch of runs were scored and the evening was beautiful.
BUT THEY LOST! I think [...]
Fog, Prayer, and Cadence
Posted in Sports, The wonders of creation, Walking with God, tagged bicycling, fog, Lake Perry, prayer on July 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Crisp cool air greeted me as the morning bike ride began. The first mile or two are always strange until the road, chain and breathing establishes a cadence for the day. Alone on the road (commuters passing by in cars hardly count) with my own thoughts. The sun has just begun to creep up over the horizon [...]
You Will Never Guess Who I Met

Terrence Stephens
Two high school football players on a plane trip from Lincoln, Nebraska to home met a fan of the Huskers. I am sure they were tired, but instead of brushing off the guy they talked with him. They treated him respectful and engaged in a real learning experience. The man was a big Husker football [...]
Only One Winner

65 Teams, 64 games only one winner! It’s called March madness, and sports fans love to watch every second of it they can. If you are from Kansas you know how it all ended last year. In a near fairy book ending the Jayhawks defeated the Memphis Tiger’s in an overtime thriller. Kansas coach, Bill Self [...]
90-65 Kansas Victorious

I must admit that I am a KU basketball fan. Bill Self is a decent and honorable guy. His teams play hard and I live 30 miles from Lawrence. Yesterday, the Hawks beat their rivals from the east Missouri by 25 and all is good. Before the game the poster above was raised by students. [...]
The Shot

The girl shot the ball, and deep within I wished it would miss. The girl played for the other team, but I wasn’t wishing it would miss for selfish reasons. I wished it would miss because she shot it at the wrong goal. In the confusion of the turnover she headed the wrong direction and [...]
Homecoming Game

It is the biggest game of the year for many high school teams, but what if you don’t have home games. The solution is easy just convince the other team to cheer for you. Impossible? not completely as this story tells! Gainsville State School plays all their games on the road and their last game of the [...]
