Now what? Now that I am a member of MBI.

by D. Brent Miller

The weather is going to take a turn for the cold! So I decided to get in an “errand ride.” (Time to take a picture of the house under construction! I took the scenic route.)

Today’s weather is picture perfect, and spring is definitely in the air–fresh perfume smell of flowering buds on the trees. It’s sunny and temps in the 70s. However, severe weather is approaching from the west. Tomorrow’s high temperature will be 46 degrees, and overnight temps in the 20s. Today is the best chance for a pleasant ride for several days, maybe a week.

I am riding along paying attention to the motorcycle, road and traffic, and find myself  thinking about my responsibilities as a journalist and new MBI member–my responsibilities as a writer and photographer, who has been accepted into an alliance of writers sharing their experiences and travel tales with any willing reader.

The ride was excellent, and as I prepare this post, that severe weather is moving into the Cincinnati area. The sky is getting darker, and supper is on the stove. The bike is safely parked in the garage. And, I am still thinking about those responsibilities. I am going to write more about this later. I have some research to do.–DBrent
