Only in men's imagination does every truth find an effective and undeniable existence. Imagination, not invention, is the supreme master of art as of life.
Joseph Conrad
Journeying in a quagmire of questions is one of the easiest places to start. The compass bears no direction and there are no tail winds to elicit an easy choice.
Let me begin with Thank You.
Below are a few names but let me first mention Lisa B. and Lauren F. They had been an inspiration on the bike but most importantly they have been instrumental in raising funds for a Histiocytosis cure. I don’t think I would have been able to cold call anyone had I not seen the energy with which they just took this on. I think that this cause just rings true and we want to see results.
Lauren and Lisa are also [“possibly”] donating their hair to Locks of Love [ http://www.locksoflove.org/ ]. The tie in here is that if you donated, you need to let me know whether or not they should get scalped. $1=1vote. I’ll tally the votes and post them just before Christmas.
Once again Thank you for your donations. Virginia A., Gabriela B., Lisa B., Justin Br., Matt D., Colin E., Maria F., Lauren F., Heather H., Helen Ikerd, Carrie K., Maritza M., Joyce P., Claudia R., Ivan Z. and Stephanie Z.!!

Other---Joseph Conrad’s] birthday [Dec 6] is coming up so expect me to pull a few quotes from him to accent this Blog. I can only imagine that the poor man is turning over in his grave as he sees his words bastardized to my ends. Yet, this whole adventure is about turning – pushing and pulling – spinning the cranks and turning the wheels – educating and changing the normal wheels of though in to possibilities for the future.
Let one who wants to move and convince others, first be convinced and moved themselves. If a person speaks with genuine earnestness the thoughts, the emotion and the actual condition of their own heart, others will listen because we all are knit together by the tie of sympathy.
Thomas Carlyle
