Hi Emily, G-2 here. I responded to your message, but I forgot to hit the "reply to" button. So you'll have to go to the journal to read it. Sorry about that.
8 months agoHi Emily, and thanks for your cautionary advice about how the mandane stuff can effect love and marriage. The good news is that Doris and I will never stop cycling. We literally never get off our bikes. Another thing we've got going for us is that cartoon characters never age or get out of shape. And the only way we can have children is if our illustrator draws one for us, which isn't likely considering the lazy bum of a cartoonist we've got.
Sincerely, G-2
Hi G-2,
Maybe someday you'll want to tour again with Greg when Doris is off doing her own solo thing every so often.
I hope your thoughts about love continue and carry you through all the mundane times of marriage and kids and careers and all that stuff that you most people sign up for when they get married. We've seen at least a few solo cyclists catch the love bug and give up really impressive, adventurous lives for mundane, domestic lives where your only riding excitement is riding bike paths with little children to school. And then, by the time the nest is empty, you end up too old and unfit to do the daring things you once did. I hope the compromises are worth it for you. And may the road only call softly when you can't get out there due to all the ties of career, kids, wife, etc. All the best to you and Doris, may there be a few more tours before you succumb to the mundane.
There would be some irony in death by squishing from a Nietzsche book falling over.
8 months agoImpressive riding when the snow is up to your handlebars!

This is not for myself..( duh) I am trying to contact Gregory as I have a comic strip photo he would probably like to see! It appears writing a reply on Cycle Blaze is the only “ contact”. CGOAB allows you the option to post a photo. Thank you for any assistance.
8 months agoIf you and Tracy are thinking of repeating your wedding vows, I will incorporate any word you want into the ceremony.

9 months agoNever heard the word 'Groovy' in a wedding vow before. I think you would make a great wedding celebrant.

Just tp be up front, not all the typos were intentiional... These were not. But some, yeah, tryin' ta be funny. Thanks for the good times!
As for using typing in my career, in 37 years and 6 days, of civil service, I either had a nice computer to back space out errors or a secretary to do the typing. It came in handy byt was (that but was unintentionally done) not essential. As for history and my Zoology major and Chemistry and Physics, well, they were also marginally helpful. U (I) often told folks "I'm really a Zoologist. I just do this for a liviing." (error not intended) Meanwhile pulling a collapsible fishing rod rigged with a lizard noose from my jacket pocket as I stalked a lizard on a pallet of ammo. As an interesting side note, I knew 5 other "Safety Zoologists" who were not able to find employment in our chosen field of education.
Thanks again for the deaily entertainment (again not intednded typo). Grrrr!
Yes, it would be ironically existential.
