Last summer my Dad and I rode our motorcycles to all four corners of the United States. This is the story of our trip.
After Mom passed away, I became aware of the limit that time places on all relationships. Growing up, Dad and I were never close. Conscious of the time I may or may not have left with him and hoping for a better relationship, I decided to take this trip with Dad.
We began the trip working and riding together. But the friction between us grew, eventually coming to a breaking point. When Dad forced me to choose between him and my wife… I left him lying in a motel bed and rode 2800 miles to home, by myself.
If you’ve ever wrestled with a thorny relationship you’ll identify with my hopes and my challenges.
This is a trip that calls to your adventurous side! And you’ll enjoy seeing the United States through the unique perspective of a motorcycle rider. I battle the weather while I approach the limits of my bike, my body, my mind and my faith.

Scribblers’ Retreat is a non-profit organization established with the goal of reaching writers of all ages; to inspire and promote their hidden gifts and talents.
By involving the local community, authors, publishers, editors, journalists and all forms of the literary world, we are opening their minds and bringing hope where there was doubt.
Scribblers’ Retreat is not the typical classroom setting. It was designed to bring world-class authors, literature professors, editors, journalists, illustrators, photo journalists, proofreaders, publishers, publicists, screenplay writers, and website/graphic designers, etc. one-on-one with young and old alike. It is the opportunity of a lifetime for someone who has had a manuscript in a desk drawer for 40 years or who has an outstanding poem that simply must be read.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
The blessings we ask for this season
Aren't the kind that come wrapped with a bow;
We're asking for gifts from the heart,
Ones we need and never outgrow.
May we see in these bright decorations
With their colors and lights all aglow,
The beauty and wonder of life
That God's world was created to show.
Let the peace and goodwill of this season
Be feelings that we can extend
Far into the following year
To our neighbors, our family, and friends.
Most of all, may we always remember
To open our hearts every day and share all the love and the joy
In a special and meaningful way.
I know--I can't believe how big my little boy is already! I just miss sleeping. ;)
Your book looks really interesting. It's good you got a chance to make that trip with your dad. I know my husband had wanted for a while to make a big fishing trip with his dad, but his dad died before they could make that happen. It's definitely important to make time for those moments instead of waiting for that "later" that never comes.
Hi Dennis,
Just dropping in to say "Hi" and see what you have been up to lately!
Best,
Susan
