Some Random Thoughts From An Aimless Mind (Awaiting Departure Day): Part One
There can be no doubt that I have the most tolerant and understanding wife in the entire world. My wife (The Feeshko) has been supportive of all my adventures throughout our married lives. True, it took a little EXTRA work last year to get her to approve a 40-day absence, but she eventually came around. And when I proposed this year's bike trip, her response was a smile, a shrug of the shoulders and a look of resignation that seemed to say, "How did I know something like this was coming?" And she probably knows that she is going to get a similar request next year.
Of course a good marriage goes both ways. If my wife told me she wanted to go off on some adventure for a month or two, I would support her all the way. I would miss her, obviously, but I would miss her while listening to loud music, drinking beer with breakfast, and doing the dishes once every two weeks.
On a completely different subject, I rode my bike yesterday on some rural roads south of my home in preparation for my big ride to the east coast. As I often do, I called out to farm animals as I rode. English is my primary language, but I speak passable Cow and Horse. My Pig could use some work, but I know enough about the language to know that no genuine pig actually says "oink." The animals never answer me, but they do seem to pay attention.
