What does an aha moment look like?

Some days, the mind is in fog.

Every now and then, thoughts are focused and clear. All is known, everything is in harmony, and an epiphany presents itself as a clear thought, unmistakable, an aha moment, and the universe is in harmony.

Of course, these moments do not come often enough. They never do.

Today, I thought I had a couple of epiphanies. It seemed like everything was in place. The facts were indisputable. But, I may have been wrong. It’s hard to see where you’re going when the fog moves in.–DBrent

Reflections on two wheels in winter

Attending a motorcycle show will not calm or satisfy your urge to ride.

Brent on MC ride Jan 28, 2008.

Several weeks have passed since the motorcycle has been out of the garage. It beckons, “take me out.” “Ride me.” “RIDE ME NOW!” So, I did.

Winter riding requires a little preparation. Warm up the bike adequately, but also make sure to be dressed properly. It is amazing how winter riding gear can keep one comfortable on a ride, even in the low 40s or lower.

And if you can stay warm, you can work towards satisfying that urge to ride.

2008 International Motorcycle Show in Cleveland

In the winter, motorcycle rides become fewer. A nice day may come along, and you can get the bike out–the number one reason I never winterize my bike.

Winter also means … the International Motorcycle Shows make the circuit. This weekend, I went to Cleveland. Here’s my slide show commentary.–DBrent

A biker church in Texas draws a devoted flock

I have been a fan of the Christian Science Monitor for a long time. It is one of the best world newspapers published, and it continually wins awards every year. It is not a member of “pack journalism.”

A couple of years ago, they had a format change, and started publishing feature stories on the back page, called Backstory. Some of the stories are very entertaining. Some are informative. And some are a pretty good look at ourselves, like the one published today.–DBrent

PS–Don’t forget to listen to the reporter’s audio commentary.

Interactive communication requires multiple methods. I have sensed that some readers would like to provide a little feedback, but don’t want to do it in the publicly viewed comment form at the end of each post.

Well, there’s a new way to contact me privately. The new feedback form has been added as a page. Just click here, or on Feedback in the header.

Here’s your chance to provide a little feedback. Thanks.–DBrent
