Thanks, Buddy, not only for recognizing my family priorities, but also for NOT giving a heart to that crow picture.

Ok, I was a grouch and didn't heart the crow photo, but I did heart this entry - because it deserved a heart.

Also, you wrote; "Short of a broken body or a broken bike, I vowed there would be no acceptable excuse for not completing what I set out to do." I do understand that sentiment, and it pretty much mirrors my own philosophy of bike touring. But taking care of family is certainly a higher priority than finishing a bike tour - maybe it's the ONLY higher priority, but it's certainly a big one. Best wishes,

I can't believe people gave this crappy picture a heart - maybe I'm a holiday grouch (ok, it seems almost certain that I am), but gee whiz folks - a heart for a blurry photo like this? But you should get credit for trying, I suppose...

Yes, heat and igloos don't mix.

Good thing the skylight is….ventilated ;)

I don't know why I would say this but I'm so sorry you couldn't do your January in Minnesota bicycle adventure.

Great video!!

But there is that skylight in the igloo!

An igloo with a skylight! So romantic.

I’m one of the censors. Keep it clean, the paper Lycra stays on, OR ELSE.

It IS paper, right?

“Boundaries”of the igloo shall stay within the igloo ;)

Looking forward to reading their adventures!

I am so happy that that video survived! My fave.

I'm glad you keep company with some hardy cycle touring types. I look forward to seeing what they get up to. But oh dear, you'll give Verne and Kermit ideas... they'll want to do their own rides too!

Thanks for the reminder, Scott. The censors can rest assured that I have no intention of straying outside the boundaries of standard decency.
