Ah, but to illustrate the concept of karmic balance - or perhaps you'd prefer
nemesis - I was fortunate enough to enjoy an unexpected long ride yesterday! A last-minute business meeting meant I had to get from Cleveland to Pittburgh, a 2 and 1/2 hour distance. The weather was in the 70s, the sun was out, and Route 30 has twists, turns, and hills. So what's a guy to do?
Needless to say I spent almost 6 hours in the saddle (I had to go there AND back!), which may have resulted in a slightly numb botty but well worth the adventure. And to top it off, my company pays 40 cents per mile for travel, which means if I don't use the cage, I win!!
Sorry to hear of your tragedy, but thank you for offering the karmic balance

Siggy
