I just heard a rumor of a 24 hour race that includes the Sheep Mountain Loop. It will be called Counting the Sheep I believe.  I for one am as excited as all of you granny gear mashing freaks.  I cant wait.

Good ... day ... where did morning go? I seem to lose time and space lately.  Along with no motivation I find that my memory is shot.  I cant remember names or what I just did. I am glossed over and in auto pilot.

I think it is like a movie that you take certain scenes from until it doesn't make any sense. My companion Marcy has been taken out of my movie and nothing makes sense. I cant believe she is gone.

Keep an eye out for this bike!  Here is the message from Julie H.

Be on the look out for a silver Specialized Expert Mountain Bike. It was stolen yesterday from our garage sometime between 10am and 9pm. We have another report of a stolen bike from a garage on Hastings street in our neighborhood too.

I would like to thank everyone for your kind words. KCooper, my sister has posted something well said and I am so impressed of her insight and choice of words. Lynn, Bob, Mom, Ronnie, Pablo, Sheepy, and all of those of you that sent me emails. Thank you for your kindness.

It is real freaky to always expect to have Marcy at my feet. When I accidently drop food crumbs I have to pick it up. I don't have to come home for lunch but I do. It is habit but when I get here I feel lost and don't know what to do. When I wake up I head for the door but no one to walk.

Hello from City Brew where I am feeling very alone in this western town that suddenly seems foreign to me. Today is hike day to recover from the weekend but where do I hike? Even more scary is the fact that I have not hiked alone in over 10 years. My hiking buddy has always filled the position of trail companion.  Not only that and inspiring companion. We both wanted to be at the top of some mountain and we wanted to be there before the other.  Without a buddy like that what is the point of even hiking at all?
