I get a break from my over-stressed life. I’m going down to San Francisco. My friends Dan and Caitlin are preparing for a bike ride leaving San Francisco and pedaling their way to Maryland [sp?] on the east coast. That’s a ten week bike ride with stops along the way. They are traveling with a group to support and educate people on a variety of issues from economic to ecology. Apparently this bike ride has been happening every year about this time for many years (different people each year).
I wish them both well. I’m taking them from Medford down to San Francisco and so I’m also going to take four days off and return on Monday. I hope to take in Harbin Hot Springs on my way back. I have been exhausted lately and think I need a break like this, especially since when I come back I’ll be declaring my candidacy for Medford City Council.
