"perseverating" - now that is a new word for me. However we have to agree that dwelling too long on decisions is not necessary. All the major life choices we have done seemed to just evolve naturally, without really a whole lot of deliberation.
5 years agoThanks for pointing that out! I missed that completely.
5 years agoPretty deep thought there, Steve. Did you have anything else to add?
5 years agoWe would like to go there some year, but not as a spring trip. I see that I failed to specify the dates for this tour: 3/26 - 6/16. We have to wedge it in between the end of the film festival and my mother’s 95th birthday. When we go to the Baltics I think we’d do it as a summer tour.
5 years agoI notice you aren't including the Baltic countries. Why? Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania combine well with Poland and then ...
5 years agoThe chimney may be about to fall, but at least they seem to have about six bicycles.
5 years agoDang it, Bruce! If you know, don’t spoil it for others.
5 years agoCalcutta to Hanoi.
5 years agoOman? Oh, man! That has never occurred to me as a biking destination until now. I had to look it up to see if biking actually happens there, and was surprised. Something to possibly add to the bucket list and discuss with Rachael. It looks more like a midwinter candidate than spring, but we keep an eye out for those too.
5 years agoGood to see you are enjoying being 'home'. I see that Oman is in your potential spring ride area. The geology there is spectacular and it is on my bucket list (mostly to see the Moho). I think the temps are more bearable in Jan-March though. Wherever you go, I'll look forward to following along. Enjoy the Portland scene for now though!

I had to look it up myself to be sure it was really a verb. I don’t know how that word made its way into my too-small personal lexicon.
5 years agoI can think of few decisions I’ve anguished for long over, but I’m gradually doing better at recognizing that my gut instinct isn’t always my friend and slowing down to seek other thoughts. I’m especially mindful of this in our current climate, when the drawbacks to trusting your gut are so apparent and calamitous.
