So, I guess I'll change that now. I have set a new goal of riding my bike (bicycle, not motorbike) across the country within the next 2-3 years. No, I don't know how I'm going to find the time or money to do it, but that's the goal.
I have a variety of reasons for wanting to do this.
- It just sounds like fun.
- I'm struggling with this mid-life realization that, aside from having a wonderful 17-year marriage with a beautiful wife and raised two fabulous girls to age six and nine (more or less), I can't seem to find anything that I would list as a significant life accomplishment. Perhaps completing my undergrad (and soon to be graduate) work while in my 40's could make that list too. I need to feel like I've done something when I die, not that I expect to die any time soon.
- I caught some sort of inspirational bug from crazyguyonabike.com recently. This site is just chock full of amazing stories of people who have done just what I want to do.
