As most of you know, I had a certain reputation in the club. Not a brawler, or as an ace mechanic or even for perfect attendance. I was the club jokester and skirt-catcher. Below are two videos. The first is one I get teased about, the biker looks like me back in the day, acts like me and rides a similar bike. The second is a video called "Live By It." Commercial or not, I do live this way. Enjoy. www.youtube.com/watch?v=crhmiu_8CZ0www.youtube.com/watch?v=vlZ4ONTb9i0 |

Talk about bad boys and good girls. True story. The real surprise to the tale is how we dated. My wife was 17 at the time, and she wanted to go for a bike ride. As was the custom, I was let's say, "unkempt and rumpled." Her father was a Marine... (And why a Marine would allow his underage, tall, willowy, blonde, only daughter get on the back of a bike still baffles me. But we've now been married 28 years.) |

Congratulations, Chico, on staying the course. Happy relationships are definitely in the minority. The majority of homes in Canada are now headed up by a single adult. And this trend has become so widespread that it's caused a housing shortage in London, England. Of course, given human nature and the spiralling divorce rate it's hardly surprising.

Hey, it was a very painful road. My wife (then girl friend) and I broke up so I could live with the infamous Red Queen.
That ended in 1980, but my wife and I weren't married until 1985. We had "baggage."
When we stood in front of the minister, I thought deeply about every vow he proffered, not just parroting "I do" to get to the wedding cake. If I wasn't going to live the vows, then I wasn't going to make them.
After 30 years, I spoke to the Red Queen on the telephone a few months ago. She was no longer the firebrand 30 year old disco queen. She was a 65 year old woman with her own regrets and painful losses. We both got some closure, although I usually don't believe in the concept.
The real issue is thinking before you act. You know, the idea I never do...

Nothing is ever as it seems. Believe nothing you hear and only half what you see. I've found it's what we don't do that we regret the most later on. Live entirely in the moment, it's all we've got. Tomorrow is promised to no one. And never look back, or you could end up like Lot's wife.  |

The Red Queen sound intriguing...tell us more. Ahhh, the Red Queen. Met a woman, and I mean a woman in the global ideal of the word. Intelligent, beautiful, 'dynamic' and the love of my life. Some people just shouldn't be together. I lost too much of myself, and she was headed to places I would not and could not go. One night while laying in bed with her, listening to her run her new love down, it dawned on me that perhaps I was making an error... ...that, and her divorce wasn't final... |
