Nine-year-old Will Cushwa and and his father, Dave, are riding a
semi-recumbant tandem from Los Angeles, CA, to Jacksonville, FLA.
What an adventure! Along the way, they're raising money for two
charities in Illinois.
I wish my dad and I could have done that when I was a boy. Neither
Dad nor I was all that athletic when I was nine. Dad took me camping
a lot with the Boy Scouts after I began the sixth grade. We went to
summer camp for a week at a time with Troop 85 of
Elsmere, NY. I don't think that my troop exists any more. It
folded when I was a junior or senior in high school because our
numbers had dwindled and I wasn't willing to take an active role in
leadership. According to legend, my troop was created from
Troop 58
when that troop grew too big.
Quote from the web site entry for
3/9/2003:
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail
away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your
sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." -- Mark Twain (1835 - 1910) Humorist
and writer

rumors on
Bilenky Cycleworks.
