I took a break last week because my house was fairly messed up due to a crew of painters who descended upon my place to finish all the painting that needed to be done. I really don’t like to paint and when you don’t like to do something, you generally don’t do a very good job. And, the professionals get things done a lot faster than I would have. That said, everything is painted, they are gone and my house is almost back to normal.
After not writing these blog posts for a week, I have decided to continue this break. I started posting non-bicycle related posts last June 2nd in response to the political situation in this country. I have written a lot of blog posts since that time and I have enjoyed it. However, I find myself in need of a break. I’m tired and my brain is tired. I think I have made my political views crystal clear and I’m not sure what value there is in continuing to beat that drum.
It is time for me to take a step back and give some thought to ‘what’s next?’ I have started training for my bike ride up around Glacier Park/Waterton, Canada in July and I will certainly be posting about that. Until then, I ‘m just not sure I have anything new to add to the conversation.
I would refer anyone who has read this to read the blog posted daily by Heather Cox Richardson. As a history professor/scholar she is much more qualified than I to address the many issues facing our nation. I just rant – she provides excellent context and commentary.
In any case, it’s been fun. Thanks for reading. I’ll be back sometime. So, excuse me while I take some time to figure out, “What’s next?”
