"It is something to be able to paint a particular picture, or to carve a statue, and so to make a few objects beautiful; but it is far more glorious to carve and paint the very atmosphere and medium through which we look, which morally we can do. To affect the quality of the day, that is the highest of arts. -- Henry David Thoreau, "Where I Live"

Right now I'm in training for the Boston to New York AIDS Ride 5! I'm also actively seeking pledges (Rider #4458), so if I haven't contacted you, please contact me about helping this very important cause.

I'm training well, but in the back of my head I keep thinking about two back-to-back centuries. Through Storres. Storres is not flat, not even close. I know I can survive, but I want to excel, to enjoy it!

So I keep cranking.

Every one of us must step up to the plate and do our part if we're going to beat this epidemic.
