It has been about a week since the passing of Fiar John. Even though I only knew John for a short time (personally) and maybe about 8 years virtually thanks to BA.com it is still hard to believe.

Being out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean I have had more time than I like to think about it.

A little more than a month ago another riding friend of mine, Mike "The Motorhead", was in an accident. He was on his Truxton waiting for the light to turn green when the car behind him took off and ran him over. Luckily for him (now I can say this) he only suffered two broken bones in his right leg that required plates and multiple screws.

Bottom line life happens, and most of the time it is all good, but once in while it just sucks. How we cope with the bad, helps keep us grounded and maybe enables us to really enjoy and appreciate all that is good.
