Titanic Post

In a few minutes I will take possession of a new Suzuki V-Strom 650. There is also a larger engined one liter V-Strom, so I suppose that the 650 could be called the Wee-Strom. I see no reason for the larger machine. Now I will have two motorcycles.

This all started about a month ago while recovering from surgery to staighten out a contractured little finger. I had more time to think about things than usual and to savor things coming my way. One thing coming my way was an invitation from a friend to attend a reunion of four or five expatriates in the Riviera du Loupe area of Quebec. If everything comes together, we will enjoy the sunsets and frolicking Beluga whales along the St. Lawrence Seaway. There will be food and drink and stimulating conversations from these extremely enlightened and articulate folks.

To get to Quebec from New Mexico, I will have to go through Rochester, NY, where, it just so happens, my daughter Aretha lives with her family. What an opportunity! It must be obvious to all by now that I desperately needed another motorcycle. I knew you would understand!
